Job satisfaction among critical care nurses: A systematic review

From this review, we did not find any evidence to support relationships between individual (socio-demographic) factors and critical care nurses' job satisfaction. We did however find evidence to support relationships between several employment and organizational factors and job satisfaction. Several of these factors are different from those reported among general hospital nurses and long-term care nursing staff, supporting the need for differential strategies to improve critical care nurses' job satisfaction. While the findings from this review hold promise as potential targets of future job satisfaction interventions, there were several methodological problems inherent in many of the studies.
