| Abstract | ||
| Background The work of a nurse may be emotionally and mentally taxing. Promoting patient safety is an essential responsibility of intensive care unit nurses. These nurses deal with patients who have life-threatening illnesses requiring intricate diagnostic and treatment processes. Healthcare companies are grappling with the difficulty of attracting and retaining skilled personnel, adding to the significant hurdles they already confront. The nursing profession, the standard of nursing care, and the involvement of nurses are becoming more and more of a focus on a worldwide scale. Aim: Evaluate Job burden and work engagement among nurses in Intensive care units. Subjects and Method: Design: The study's methodology was based on descriptive correlation research. Setting: All areas of Tanta Main General Hospital and the Emergency Hospital participated. Subject: The study subjects consisted of all nurses (n=390) from the earlier revealed setting. Tools: 2 tools were managed for collecting data (1) questionnaire Nurses’ work engagement Assessment Scale (2) Nurses’ Job demands. Results: Over half of nurses had moderate levels of overall job demands. The majority of nurses had low levels of work engagement. There was a statistically significant correlation among nurses overall Job demands and staff nurses overall work engagement. Conclusion: Job demands had a significant contribution to staff nurses work engagement. Recommendation: Staff nurses and head nurses should participate in frequent training sessions that address job needs and employee engagement. Nurses should not have to complete as much unrelated work, particularly during lengthy shifts, and should be able to focus on helping patients instead of being overwhelmed by paperwork. | ||
