The purpose of this study was to determine the effect that mandated staffing ratios had on the nursing work environment; specifically, to determine if mandated staffing ratios on inpatient medical-surgical nursing units increased nurse satisfaction, decreased anticipated turnover, and increased nurse retention after the implementation of mandated staffing ratios. The research site was a hospital within the California hospital system. An acute care hospital within the California Healthcare Association was randomly selected. The sample consisted of full-time and part-time licensed practical nurses and registered nurses. All participants had been assigned to inpatient nursing units within the selected hospital, and had worked on that unit for at least 3 months. A single group, before and after design was used in this study, allowing for both between-subjects and within-subjects comparisons. Data on nurse satisfaction, anticipated turnover, and nurse retention was collected at two points: December of 2003, before the implementation of mandated staffing ratio legislation, and May of 2004, after the legislation had been in place for 5 months. A total of 101 nurses participated in the study before the implementation of staffing legislation and 96 nurses participated afterward. Instrumentation included the Index of Work Satisfaction and the Anticipated Turnover Scale. The major finding from this study was that the implementation of mandated staffing legislation did not have a statistically significant effect on the combined dependent variables of work satisfaction and anticipated turnover among nurses in an acute care hospital in California. Multivariate analysis of variance indicated that the assigned nursing unit did have a significant effect on the combined dependent variables of work satisfaction and anticipated turnover, though the effect size was small. Univariate results indicated that overall work satisfaction and satisfaction with task requirements differed due to the assigned nursing unit. Findings from this study will contribute to the body of knowledge regarding the effects of mandated staffing ratios on nurse satisfaction and nurse retention. This study will provide a greater understanding of this issue, which policy makers can use in their decision-making process. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
