A descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional design was used.
Convenience sampling of 160 nurses working in multiple sites of a large, tertiary medical centre in Saudi Arabia was performed. Structured self-administered questionnaires were used to measure perceived unit practice council functionality and levels of nurse accountability.
Nurses perceived that unit practice councils had moderate levels of functionality; however, nurses had high levels of accountability. Also, perceived unit practice councils\' functionality had a significant positive relationship with nurses\' accountability (r = 0.49, p < 0.001). More studies are needed to investigate the impact of different shared governance models on nurses\' work environments.
方法:描述性,使用相关和横截面设计。
方法:方便抽样的160名护士在一个大型,在沙特阿拉伯的三级医疗中心进行。结构化的自我管理问卷用于衡量感知的单位实践委员会功能和护士问责制水平。
结果:护士认为单位实践委员会具有中等程度的功能;但是,护士有高水平的问责制。此外,感知的单位实践委员会的功能与护士的责任有显著的正相关(r=0.49,p<0.001).需要更多的研究来调查不同的共享管理模式对护士工作环境的影响。
