Description

Nursing today has a high turnover and decreased job satisfaction, which has negatively impacted the healthcare system and the ability of hospitals to meet patient care needs and provide quality healthcare. Both stress and job dissatisfaction are associated with nurse turnover, which is a well-known problem among nursing staff (Andresen, Hansen, & Grov, 2016). It is imperative for nurse leaders to understand the factors that cause job dissatisfaction and high staff turnover. Nursing theories influence the practice of nursing in many ways. They provide a framework to support and define the nursing practice, enhance patient care, and can be implemented to solve problems that may arise within nursing practice.

Grand theories are the most abstract and complex theories, broadly defining concepts that are central to the nursing profession and linking them using the theorist’s view of the discipline. Applying grand theories to nursing practice can be difficult because of their abstract nature, but they can still be applied to solve many issues that may arise within nursing practice. Jean Watson’s Theory of HumanCaring states that caring is essential to the practice of nursing. Watson’s theory focuses on preserving human dignity, humanity, and creating a trusting relationship. Nurse leaders can utilize Watson’s caring theory by exhibiting caring to create an environment with less stress, increased job satisfaction, and less employee turnover. This paper will focus on how nurse leaders can resolve the issue of job dissatisfaction and high nurse turnover by using the concept of Watson’s caring theory.

High Turnover in Nursing and Job DissatisfactionThe widespread nursing shortage and high incidence of nurse turnover has become important issue related to job dissatisfaction within the healthcare system. According to Gibsonand Petrosko (2014), roughly half of all managers do not trust their leaders. If this assertion is accurate, then trust in one’s leader may prove to be an important ingredient for Human resource development (HRD), job satisfaction, and turnover in particular. The healthcare system would require new leadership characteristics and roles to make a difference in resolving these issues. Over the past few years, I have noticed a high staff turnover in my particular unit, which could be on account of the leadership style of the manager among other factors.
