Sources of satisfaction for nurses.
This article completes the reporting of a survey in which 275 nurses were asked to indicate their needs, their sources of stress, and (in the present article) their sources of work satisfaction. A panel of three senior nurses classified the sources of satisfaction into 10 categories. The greatest number of replies proved to be in categories which the panel named Patients, Education and Achievement. The smallest number was in categories called Conditions and Responsibility. These came mainly from nurses in administrative or special positions.
