Title: BURNOUT: THE DEVASTATING IMPACT ON A NEW TEACHER.
Creator: Leichtman, Kevin, Baxley, Traci P., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Curriculum, Culture, and Educational Inquiry, College of Education
Abstract/Description: This autoethnographical study was conducted to add teacher voice and perspective in the topic of new teacher burnout, which has been linked to beginning teachers’ historically high attrition rates within the first five years of their careers. The study was centered on a burned out new teacher who faced cognitive dissonance through attempting to implement critical pedagogy in the context of standards-based reform.

Show moreThis autoethnographical study was conducted to add teacher voice and perspective in the topic of new teacher burnout, which has been linked to beginning teachers’ historically high attrition rates within the first five years of their careers. The study was centered on a burned out new teacher who faced cognitive dissonance through attempting to implement critical pedagogy in the context of standards-based reform. Data was gathered through field notes and artifacts encompassing the first five years of the teacher’s career, which spanned two schools and six grade levels in a large, low socioeconomic, southern school district. The data underwent multiple levels of analysis and classifications to allow for emergent themes. This data was then displayed as narrative vignettes, giving a representative sample of the field notes that detailed the experience of new teacher burnout. The data from this study found similarities with the current research on burnout in identifying significant contributors to new teacher burnout. Findings suggested that contributors to burnout work simultaneously and have consistent and pervasive effects. This made every contributor to burnout impactful, as the teacher was constantly suffering from negative health effects of the constant state of burnout.

Show moreThe purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between wellness and burnout among novice counselors. This research was carried out in order to gain a better understanding of the experience of the novice counselor as well as to gain insight into the effects of wellness and burnout on these experiences. The significance of this research lies in the need to understand the novice counselor's journey, the factors that can contribute to or prevent burnout, and the potential prevention and intervention strategies that can be employed in response to burnout. The data of a final sample of 144 participants' scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), The Five Factor Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle (5F-Wel), and a demographic questionnaire were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences in order to explore the relationships between wellness and burnout. The researcher found significant relationships between demographic factors of the novice counselor, including age, years of experience, and number of hours delivering counseling services, and both the MBI and the 5F-Wel. The researcher also found a relationship between all factors of wellness and the three subscales of burnout. A particularly important finding was the significance of the Coping Self, Physical Self, and Creative Self subscales of wellness to the subscales of burnout. The implications of the findings include the development of specific intervention and prevention strategies for novice counselors. Limitations of this research include the relatively small sample size, potential bias among the participants who chose to complete the survey, and the limited generalizability.

Title: Factors Affecting Registered Nurses' Job satisfaction and Intent to Leave.
Creator: Longo, Joy, Liehr, Patricia, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: It is estimated that there will be a 20% shortage of full time equivalent registered nurses (RN) by 2015. Retention of nurses is a priority in health care, so a better understanding of factors that contribute to job satisfaction and intent to leave is needed. One possible factor is the quality of the interpersonal relationships that occur among managers, peers, and nurses. A negative quality would be acts of hostility or horizontal violence, which is nurse-to-nurse aggression. This is...
Show moreIt is estimated that there will be a 20% shortage of full time equivalent registered nurses (RN) by 2015. Retention of nurses is a priority in health care, so a better understanding of factors that contribute to job satisfaction and intent to leave is needed. One possible factor is the quality of the interpersonal relationships that occur among managers, peers, and nurses. A negative quality would be acts of hostility or horizontal violence, which is nurse-to-nurse aggression. This is theorized to be a result of oppressed group behavior. These behaviors may influence job satisfaction and the intent to stay on the job and in the profession. The overall purpose of the study was to explore relationships between horizontal violence, oppressed group behavior, job satisfaction and intent to leave a position or nursing in the next 12 months. This pilot study examined factors that influence registered nurses ' job satisfaction and intent to leave a position or nursing. Convenience sampling was used to obtain the sample of registered nurses from a BSN completion program and a Novice Nurse Initiative Program (n=99). Written stories of conflict between nurses were obtained and analyzed with linguistic analysis and word count (LIWC) software and various standardized instruments were used including the Nurses Workplace Behavior Scale (NWBS), the Organizational Climate for Caring Scale (OCCS), the Peer Group Caring Interaction Scale (PGCIS), The McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale (MMSS) and two visual analogue scales (VAS). Significant relationships were found between job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position and nursing (p<.01), oppressed group behavior and intent to stay in nursing (p<.01), oppressed group behavior and job satisfaction (p<.01). Manager and peer caring behaviors were related to intent to stay in a position and nursing (p<.01). Using stepwise multiple regression, both manager and peer caring behaviors were found to influence the relationship between job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position or nursing. The findings of this study suggest that the quality of interpersonal relationships between managers, peers and nurses can influence job satisfaction and intent to stay in a position or nursing.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine turnover trends of administrators in Florida's Jewish day schools, and to ascertain the reasons Jewish day school administrators leave the field despite the demand for professionals in that field. The study fills a gap in available data and research in this area, and helps shed light on a serious leadership crisis in Jewish education from the perspective of the administrators. A survey of documents and a series of interviews with school officials revealed that 105 administrative positions turned over in Florida's 36 Jewish day schools during the 1994-2004 school years. A third of those who left their positions opted to leave the field of day school administration entirely. Utilizing qualitative methodology, the researcher interviewed 11 of the administrators who left. The study found that day school administrators who leave the field are motivated and growth-oriented individuals who do not actualize their personal challenges in the field. Day school administrators who leave are disillusioned by what they find in the day school system, from the way administrators are treated by the various constituents of the school to the values under which the day school system operates. The study also found that there are no clear predictors of which administrators will leave the field; however, circumstances that lead to departure are similar.

Title: Mobbing, burnout, and religious coping styles among Protestant clergy: a structural equation model and its implications for counselors.
Creator: Vensel, Steven R., College of Education, Department of Counselor Education
Abstract/Description: This study investigates the relationship between mobbing, burnout, and religious coping styles among Protestant clergy. Mobbing is an emotionally abusive workplace behavior and is defined as the prolonged malacious harassment of a coworker by a group of other members of an organization to secure the removal from the organization of the one who is targeted.

Show moreThis study investigates the relationship between mobbing, burnout, and religious coping styles among Protestant clergy. Mobbing is an emotionally abusive workplace behavior and is defined as the prolonged malacious harassment of a coworker by a group of other members of an organization to secure the removal from the organization of the one who is targeted. Mobbing has only recently become a focus of attention in the US. To date, there are no known studies investigating mobbing in the workplace setting of the church. The broad purpose of this study is to determine if Protestant pastors experience mobbing, how they are affected by it, and how they cope with it. Four religious coping styles - Self-directing, Collaborative, Deferring, and Surrender to God - are investigated to determine how coping styles of religious individuals function in mediating the effect of mobbing or burnout. Burnout is assessed throught he Maslach Burnout Inventory and measures emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. This study utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and presents two models of mediational analysis.... The results of analysis indicate that Protestant clergy do experience being mobbed which results in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Clergy with a self-directing coping style experience more burnout than do those who utilize a surrender to God style. Differences in indirect effects between models were noted. The implications to theory and practice are discussed.

Title: Caring for self for nursing leaders: Climbing to the mountain peak.

Show moreThe nursing leader's challenging position in today's work environment may lead to an experience of stress, over-commitment, and overdoing. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the meaning of caring for self by registered nurse leaders who had participated in a caring for self project in a community hospital setting. This group of 10 nursing leaders had participated in a caring for self project and had experience in nursing ranging from 18 to 32 years. One year after taking part in the caring for self project the 10 nursing leaders participated in individual taped interviews to explore the meaning of caring for self. Hermeneutic phenomenology (van Manen, 1990) was the method used for the interpretation of this research study. The depth of the lived experience of caring for self was described by each nursing leader. A metaphor of climbing a mountain to the peak of wisdom, being on the path and staying on the path regarding care of self, came from the words of the participants. In their words, the leaders communicate four common themes: Reflections on the Journey, Why Care for Self on the Journey, How to Care for Self on the Journey, and the Wisdom Learned Along the Path. Based on their reflections, recommendations include implementing creative ways to encourage care of self are for the hospital environment and educational methods to reinforce care of self for nurse leaders in the educational curriculum. A focus on care of self described by the leaders in this study may improve personal health, add to personal growth, assist in communication skills, allow for role modeling care of self to others, support setting priorities and boundaries, contribute to flexibility, and promote a work-life balance. These qualities would assist in creating a positive work environment and may influence the retention of nurses and contribute to recruiting new nursing leaders. Caring for self by nursing leaders is an important way for caring nursing theory to be brought to the practice setting. By role modeling a work-life balance nursing leaders bring the circle of caring out to others, beginning with care of self.

Title: Just grin and bear it?: proactive coping and PTSD in nursing students.
Creator: Borges-Garcia, Raquel., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description: Past research has found that among traumatized undergraduate women, proactive coping style was independently negatively associated with posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity. It also shows that nurses experience many work-related traumas. The present study tests the PTSD symptom level in nursing students and measured whether proactive coping and other personality variables could successfully buffer the effects of trauma. This study found a surprisingly low PTSD symptom level among...
Show morePast research has found that among traumatized undergraduate women, proactive coping style was independently negatively associated with posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity. It also shows that nurses experience many work-related traumas. The present study tests the PTSD symptom level in nursing students and measured whether proactive coping and other personality variables could successfully buffer the effects of trauma. This study found a surprisingly low PTSD symptom level among the nursing students though they reported several distressing traumas. Also surprising, participants reported more distress from traumas relating to verbal abuse than to traumas relating to death and/or severe injury. Proactive coping, optimism, and self-esteem were negatively related to PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Further research will be needed to support these findings.

Title: The impact of stress on elementary school principals and their effective coping mechanisms.
Creator: Krzemienski, Joyce., College of Education, Department of Educational Leadership and Research Methodology
Abstract/Description: In today's era of high stakes testing and accountability, school principals are confronted with many difficult challenges in addition to those traditionally experienced by principals given the advent of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and the many mandates each school principal must report on annually.

Show moreIn today's era of high stakes testing and accountability, school principals are confronted with many difficult challenges in addition to those traditionally experienced by principals given the advent of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and the many mandates each school principal must report on annually. With mandated curriculum standards and widespread demand to improve student achievement, principals face a multitude of administrative tasks. As the school accountability deadline to meet the 2014 federal objective of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 rapidly draws closer for the majority of states, this federal legislation has created increasingly high stress levels, potentially the highest ever, for principals across the country. ... The proposed study is significant to the field of education because this study provides the most current research regarding the mental and physical effects of work-related stress on elementary school principals in an era of increased accountability and the impact stress has on the school climate. Further, this study offers school principals a repertoire of effective coping mechanisms that can be utilized to help reduce their perceived stress levels. Over the time of the study, it was repeatedly reported by the principal participants that their work stress had increased, which was found to have impacted their health as well as the school climate.
