Job satisfaction and health promotion in intensive care

This book deals with the topic of job satisfaction in relation to intensive care and workplace health promotion. Intensive care professionals face a variety of challenges and stresses on a daily basis. They experience constant stress and difficult working conditions. In addition, changes in the care structure, such as staff cuts, cost-cutting measures and increased time pressure, are becoming increasingly apparent. For these reasons, it is all the more important to increase job satisfaction among intensive care nurses and at the same time reduce staff turnover, as the departure of qualified personnel is not only a problem for the nursing team, but also for the company. Factors that influence job satisfaction, such as a good working atmosphere, appreciative treatment, good teamwork and the influence of management, are presented and strategies and measures are identified. These strategies are then illustrated using an implementation model.
