Comparative study on key factors within the roles and functions of professional nurses working in different nursing units
Khosa, Khazamula Phineas
The aim o f this study was to determine the key factors within the
roles and functions of professional nurses working in different
nursing units with the purpose for motivation for their compensation
in accordance with their performance. A comparative, descriptive
design was employed.
Findings reveal that the professional nurse’s roles and functions in
the different units show that there are some significant differences
regarding certain activities while differences pertaining to other
activities were not significant. However, there were factors which
were subjected to a number o f limitations during the study.
Apart from the significant differences, it thus appears as if the roles
and functions required o f professional nurses working in the three
disciplines do not vary much in content and intensity.
From the findings o f this study, it therefore, does not appear as if
paediatric professional nurses have a valid reason for expecting
additional monetary rewards in view o f their roles and functions.
