The Military Nursing Practice Environments Association with Patient Outcomes
Abstract
This study aims to explore how the subscales and individual items of the Practice Environment Survey are associated with medication with and without harm, falls with and without injury, and patient experience. The study is a secondary analysis of four years of longitudinal panel data from 10 military hospitals. Annual surveys and monthly outcome data have been collected from 45 units over a period of 4 years. Multiple regressions will be used to determine whether each of the subscales alone or in combination with additional workload and hospital control variables is associated with each outcome. These relationships will also be assessed overtime to see if they remain constant from year to year. Tree-structured analysis will be employed to test the combination of individual Practice Environment Survey items that are the strongest predictors of each outcome.
