Cross-sectional survey shows practice environment affects job satisfaction and burnout in nurse practitioners caring for dementia patients, suggesting improvements are needed.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate how the practice environment of nurse practitioners influences burnout, job satisfaction, and intent to leave their positions in dementia care.
National cross-sectional survey conducted from 2021 to 2023 with 968 nurse practitioners across 847 practices.
Used the Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Organizational Climate Questionnaire to assess the practice environment.
Multivariable regression models analyzed the relationship between practice environment and nurse practitioner workforce outcomes.
92.0% of nurse practitioners reported job satisfaction, while 35.8% experienced burnout and 21.3% intended to leave their job within a year.
A one standard deviation increase in Professional Visibility was associated with a 28% lower prevalence of burnout (PR = 0.72, p < 0.001).
Increases in NP-Administration Relations and NP-Physician Relations were linked to 9% and 7% higher job satisfaction, respectively (PR = 1.09, p < 0.001; PR = 1.07, p < 0.001).
