Nurse practice environment and work engagement among nurses in selected public hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the relationship between nurses' perceptions of their work environment and work engagement in selected public hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2024.

Methods: A cross sectional design was utilized in this study with 372 nurse respondents who were randomly selected in public hospitals using the proportional sampling method. The research utilized an open-access and validated structured questionnaires adopted from Nurse Practice Environment Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9 (UWES-9). Research implementation took place between December 2023 and February 2024. The SPSS software version 20 was used for data analysis in which descriptive statistics were used to summarize the demographic profile, mean, normality and relationship between study variables.

Results: There was a positive significant correlation between nurse practice environment and work engagement among nurse respondents (r = 0.42, p < 0.001). All the dimensions in the nurse practice environment scale positively correlated with all the dimensions of the work engagement scale as manifested by coefficient r ranging from 0.25 to 0.44, p < 0.001). It was noted that the more nurses participated in internal governance and as they improved their relationship with physicians, the more they became dedicated to their hospital work (r = 0.43. and r = 0.44, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: A positive work environment encourages and sustains work engagement. An attractive and supportive work environment has numerous properties that may influence motivation, engagement, satisfaction, and autonomy. Nurses should be more involved in governance and policy decisions to ensure a proactive nursing practice environment and work engagement.
