Job Satisfaction in Clinical Practice Leaders in Homecare Nursing Practice

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe job satisfaction in clinical practice leaders of homecare nursing practice. Methods: The study used a qualitative-descriptive approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 homecare nursing practice leaders. We analyzed data similarities and differences and assigned symbolic category names. Results: We generated four categories related to clinical practice leadership: “positive feedback from nursing students concerning homecare nursing practice,” “developing leader’s educational philosophy,” “rewarding relationships with nursing teachers,” and “positive attitudes of visiting nursing care staff working together.” Conclusions: These findings indicate the importance of clinical practice leaders obtaining positive feedback from nursing students, developing relationships with nursing teachers, and visiting nursing care staff based on cooperation, to obtain job satisfaction in homecare nursing practice.
