The impact of the nurse practice environment, workload, and professional support on job outcomes and standards of care at primary health care clinics in South Africa: A structural equation model approach

Abstract

We have highlighted the value of supportive practice environments, effective workload management, and enhanced professional support in improving nurses' job outcomes and satisfaction with standards of care. Improving nurses' practice environments at primary health care level may have a wide-ranging impact on the performance of the health system. Therefore, primary health care facility managers should ensure that workload is distributed equitably, professional support for nurses is enhanced, and the overall work environment is improved.
