The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, and debriefing on the one hand, and compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress on the other hand in Florida law enforcement officers. To explore the relationships between these constructs, the research examined the relationships of the work environment of Florida law enforcement personnel by administering surveys gaging perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, psychological resilience, and debriefing activities that the personnel participate in. The Professional Quality of Life: Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue Version 5 was also sent out to establish the self-reported levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. A total of 826 surveys were completed by law enforcement personnel across the state of Florida. The study found that there were relationships between perceived organizational support, perceived coworker support, and debriefing activities and the levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress in Florida law enforcement personnel.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between a hospital's Magnet recognition status, tenure, and its performance in the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) program., Background: Previous studies have sought to determine associations between quality of care provided in inpatient setting and the Magnet Recognition Program; however, no study has done so using the most recent (FY2017) iteration of the HVBP program, nor determined the influence a hospital's Magnet designation tenure has on HVBP scores., Method: This study used a cross-sectional study design of 2686 hospitals using propensity score matching to reduce bias and improve comparability., Results: Magnet-designated hospitals were associated with higher total performance, process of care and patient experience of care scores, and lower efficiency score. No association was identified between the length of time hospitals have been Magnet designated., Conclusion: Findings suggest non-Magnet status hospitals need to consider implementing the principles of Magnet into their culture or participation in the Magnet Recognition Program to provide higher quality of care.
