TL;DR
Examining how physical environment contributes to nurse work outcomes, adjusting for multiple personal, organizational, and economic determinants of job satisfaction found no effect of physical work environment on job satisfaction was found.
Abstract
In future studies, this relationship should be examined in larger and more representative samples of nurses. Qualitative methods should be used to explore how negatively perceived physical work environment impacts nurses. Rebuilding of U.S. hospitals, with a planned investment of $200 billion without considering how physical environment contributes to nurse work outcomes, threatens to exacerbate organizational nurse turnover.
