Aims: To identify current best evidence on the types of interventions that have been
developed to improve job satisfaction among nurses and on the effectiveness of these
interventions.
Design: The systematic review is a quantitative systematic review and meta-analysis
following a profile-likelihood random-effects model.
Data Sources: CINAHL, Medic and Pubmed (Medline).
Review Methods: PICOS eligibility criteria were used to select original studies published
between 2003-2019. The articles were screened by title (n=489), abstract (n=61) and full-text
(n=47). A total of 20 articles remained after the full-text screening process and further assess
on risk of bias. The screening process was conducted by two authors independently and
finally agreed together. A meta-analysis was performed to determine how the identified
interventions influence nurses’ job satisfaction.
Results: The interventions were primarily educational and consisted of workshops,
educational sessions, lessons and training sessions. The post-intervention differences between
intervention and control groups in meta-analysis revealed that two interventions significantly
improved nurses’ job satisfaction. Notably, the spiritual intelligence training protocol and
Professional Identity Development Program were found to be effective in improving job
satisfaction.
Conclusion: Healthcare organizations and managers should consider implementing effective
interventions to improve nurses’ job satisfaction and reduce turnover. The results reported in
this study highlight that nurse managers should focus on organizational strategies that will
foster the intrinsic motivation of employees
