The morale of the story
Article Abstract:
The Leicestershire branch of the Royal College of Nursing distributed a questionnaire to its members during the period 1992-1996 to review the morale of nurses faced with health care reforms. The questionnaire was distributed at two yearly intervals to a different 10% of the membership. The research revealed a definite decline in morale. The chief concerns highlighted were salaries, job insecurity, and the erosion of professional standards and nursing power. Survey results are presented, together with details of major changes affecting nurses during the survey period.
