Meaning in Life: Translating Nursing Concepts to Research
Joyce J.Fitzpatrick 한국간호과학회 2008 Asian Nursing Research Vol.2 No.1
It is proposed that individuals who find meaning in their lives experience a higher level of health and wellness. In this paper, research focused on life meaning is described. This program of research includes studies of life meaning from the individual person and/or patient perspective and studies of the meaningfulness of nurses’ professional work life. Translations of the theoretical concepts into research and professional nursing interventions are described.

Nurses’ Job Satisfaction and Patient Falls
Cecilia D. Alvarez,Joyce J. Fitzpatrick 한국간호과학회 2007 Asian Nursing Research Vol.1 No.2
Purpose The growing concern about the low job satisfaction among nurses and the achievement of positive patient outcomes are critical healthcare issues. The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to determine the relationship between nurses’ job satisfaction and patient fall rate on adult medical and surgical units. Methods Secondary data from a nurses’ job satisfaction survey at a large not-for-profit acute care hospital on the East coast was used. The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators–Adapted Index of Work Satisfaction (NDNQI–AIWS) was used to measure nurses’ job satisfaction. The sample included 161 nurses from 12 adult acute medical and surgical units. The study used retrospective data collected by the Department of Nursing on patient fall rate. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between nurse job satisfaction and patient fall rate. In addition, exploratory descriptive analysis was conducted by type of unit (i.e., medical or surgical). Results and Conclusion No significant relationship was found between overall nurses’ job satisfaction and patient fall rate. MD–RN interactions (r = .65) and decision-making (r = .57) were the job satisfaction subscales that showed a significant positive correlation with patient fall rate (p < .05). Recommendations for future research are provided.
Demands of Immigration Among Indian Nurses Who Immigrated to the United States
Jessy Jose,Mary Quinn Griffin,Elizabeth R. Click,Joyce J. Fitzpatrick 한국간호과학회 2008 Asian Nursing Research Vol.2 No.1
Purpose To describe the demands of immigration of Indian nurses who immigrated to the United States, and to compare the demands of immigration of Indian nurses who immigrated less than 3 years ago to those who immigrated 3 or more years ago. Methods A comparative descriptive design was used to examine the Demands of Immigration (DI) total and subscale scores of Indian nurses (n = 105) who immigrated to the United States between 1985 and 2005, who were categorized into two groups: those who immigrated less than 3 years ago (n = 44) and those who immigrated 3 or more years ago (n = 61). The DI total score and subscale scores (loss, novelty, occupation, discrimination, language and not feeling at home) are reported. Study findings are related to previous research on immigration of women and nurses. Recommendations for future research are included. Results There was a significant difference between groups in total DI scores and language and novelty subscale scores. Conclusion Additional research in these areas could help to assess the demands of immigration of Indian nurses and immigrant nurses from other countries.
