Abstract

Existing data about nursing practice personnel has been found to be fragmented, incomplete, and non-uniform. These shortcomings can severely hamper administrative decision making related to professional practice systems in general, and differentiated pay and practice models in particular. The Nursing Personnel Practice Data Set (NPPDS) is designed to remedy these deficiencies by providing available, accessible, reliable, and comparable data about nursing personnel. The authors describe elements of the NPPDS and discuss implementation aims.

The role of job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction and demographic factors on physicians' intentions to switch work sector from public to private.

This study is based on a unique data set for the years 1988-2003 and uses structural equation models to examine the impact of job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction on physicians' intention to switch from public- to private-sector work. In Finland, physicians who work primarily in a public-hospital or health-centre setting can also run a private practice. Therefore, we also analysed the impact of having a private practice on a physician's intention to change sector. We found that private practice had a positive, statistically significant effect on the intention to switch sector in 1998 and 2003. Results also suggest that job satisfaction decreases a physician's intention to switch sector, although for 1998 it had no effect. Surprisingly, job dissatisfaction significantly increased the physicians' intentions to leave the public sector only in the 1988 data.
