Abstract
AIM
To explore how levels of managerial support discriminate paediatric nurses' burnout, quality of life, intent to leave and adverse patient events.
DESIGN
A quantitative correlational study.
METHODS
A total of 225 paediatric nurses were selected from nine major hospitals across Jordan. The main measures used were the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and the brief version of World Health Organization-Quality of Life Instrument. The study methods were compliant with the STROBE checklist.
RESULTS
Nurse manager support was negatively associated with adverse patient events, work-related burnout, client-related burnout, and intent to leave; and positively with physical and psychological quality of life. Frequency of nosocomial infections characterized low manager support, whereas medication errors described high support. Greater nurse manager support decreased the likelihood of adverse patient outcomes.
