Aim: To test a theoretical model examining the impact of the work environment on nurses' physical and mental health issues, job burnout, and healthcare productivity.Methods: This cross-sectional study employed structural equation modelling to test a theoretical model linking work environment, physical and mental health issues, job burnout, and healthcare productivity. Data were collected from 600 staff nurses using validated self-report questionnaires administered at one medical teaching hospital and two regional hospitals in Taiwan.Results: The work environment was significantly associated with healthcare productivity, nurses' physical and mental health issues, and job burnout. Physical and mental health issues were positively related to job burnout, which, in turn, negatively impacted healthcare productivity. Conclusions: A supportive work environment plays a critical role in promoting nurses' well-being, reducing burnout, and improving productivity. This study advances the understanding of work environment factors that nurse administrators can target for improvement.Impact: Modifying key organisational and interpersonal aspects of the work environment and cultivating a more supportive culture may enhance nurses' well-being, reduce turnover, and improve workforce productivity.Reporting Method: This study adhered to STROBE guidelines for observational studies as per the Equator network.Patient or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution. |
