DescriptionThe purpose of this study was to identify and explain the work organization factors affecting the role enactment of the school nurse, levels of burnout, and job satisfaction. This study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design in which qualitative and quantitative data were collected in parallel, analyzed separately according to their methodologies, and then integrated with equal weighting. Qualitative data was collected using in-depth, individual interviews with 20 New Jersey school nurses. Quantitative data was collected electronically using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey and the Areas of Worklife Survey from 100 members of the New Jersey State School Nurses Association. An overarching theme of “caged leaders” emerged from the qualitative data, suggesting a lack of control over the work environment contributes to barriers to role enactment. School nurses exhibited a moderate level of burnout which increased in poor working environments. Demographic characteristics, including community poverty levels, geographic location, and workload contributed to burnout. School nurses had a very high sense of personal accomplishment, and valued control over practice, relationships and collaboration. Conclusions indicated a need to address components of a healthy work environment, and to further understand why school nurses stay in their role when poor work environment conditions are present. The knowledge generated by exploring the school nurse work environment may serve to guide the actions of the school organization as it works to create a healthy work environment.
