L’objectif de cette étude était d’examiner les différences dans l’emploi, les caractéristiques du travail et les perceptions du travail chez les infirmières en fonction des caractéristiques

Background Available research on registered nurses (RNs) indicates that RNs with diverse race/ethnicity are more likely to work in disadvantaged workplaces. Purpose To examine differences in employment, job characteristics and perceptions about work among RNs by sociodemographic characteristics. Methods We analyzed data from statewide random samples of California RNs (N=895). Findings Increased age was associated with increased likelihoods of working part-time, day-shift, and in non-hospital settings and having managerial positions. Asian and Black nurses were more likely to work in urban areas than White nurses. The levels of job demand, job control, job satisfaction, perceived organizational culture, and safety climate were significantly different by sociodemographic characteristics. Greater intention to leave the job was associated with younger age and working in non-hospital settings. Discussion The findings suggest that differences exist in nurses’ employment, job characteristics, and perceptions about their work and work environment by sociodemographic characteristics among RNs of diverse race/ethnicity.
