title: Differences in professional practice model outcomes: the impact of practice setting.
abstract: Over the past several years, involvement strategies such as professional practice models and shared governance strategies have been implemented in a variety of nursing practice settings. This article reviews the results of a secondary analysis of an evaluation of a professional practice model at a large academic medical center. This review compares critical care and general acute care nurses in terms of their perceptions of and satisfaction with work in a professional practice environment and identifies and contrasts significant predictors of general job satisfaction and turnover intent within the two groups. Implications of differences in outcomes in different settings are explored.
