Description
Introduction: A healthy working environment (HWE) is essential for nurse
well-being, job satisfaction, and overall healthcare quality. However, in
Indonesia, the conditions of the work environment and the
implementation of professional nursing practices in private hospitals
remain underexplored. This scoping review aims to identify, evaluate, and
propose strategies for improving HWE in private hospitals.
Methods: A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed
from ProQuest, NCBI, CINAHL, and SpringerLink from 2013 to 2023. Three
major themes emerged: Organizational Support – Policies ensuring nurse
welfare, workplace safety, and professional development significantly
reduce burnout and enhance job satisfaction. Fair compensation,
performance assessments, human resource fulfillment, and nurse
engagement in decision-making contribute to a more sustainable work
environment; Management and Teamwork – Effective communication,
strong leadership, and collaboration are crucial in improving nurse
performance and motivation. Hospitals that emphasize nurse-physician
cooperation and conflict resolution report higher retention rates and
improved patient outcomes; Individual Factors – Workplace relationships,
personal resilience, and professional recognition directly affect nurses'
mental well-being and job commitment. However, verbal harassment,
workplace violence, seniority-based discrimination, and lack of
engagement opportunities negatively impact nurse retention.
Results: The findings confirm that a strong HWE enhances nurse
satisfaction, retention, and patient care quality. Therefore, creating and
maintaining a positive work environment requires joint efforts from
hospital administrators, policymakers, and healthcare professionals.
Conclusion: Future strategies should prioritize comprehensive
assessments, communication skills training, ethical practice
reinforcement, and continuous professional development to support nurse
well-being and optimize healthcare services.
