• Description:
  This NIOSH funded research will present results of investigating personality characteristics of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) and the organizational structure present in their work environments and which, if either, have an impact on job satisfaction and retention. The hypotheses are: there are shared personality characteristics of SANE nurses, these specific personality characteristics relate to job satisfaction, and organizational structure of the work environment is related to job satisfaction. The population utilized was SANE nurses at over 18 locations in medium to large sized cities across the central & western United States. Measurements include the Mini International Personality Item Pool, (Donnellan, et al, 2006), The Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire II (Laschinger, et al, 2001), the abridged Job Descriptive Index (Stanton, et al, 2001), the Turnover Intention Scale (Kelloway, et al, 1999), and a demographic questionnaire. There is also an organization demographic form. The study will utilize a comparative effect size and goodness-of-fit research design. 125 nurses have completed the measures and data collection continues. Determining what personality characteristics, and/or structures in the work environment may have an impact on satisfaction and retention will be helpful to trauma organizations as they provide quality nursing care to the sexual assault/domestic violence client populations.
