NP job outcomes across practices with low, medium, and high structural capability scores

Structural Capability Index Score
All NPs (n=1,110) Low (n=280) Medium (n=549) High (n=281) P-value
Burnout status, n (%) .002
 Burned out 296 (26.7) 93 (31.4) 146 (49.3) 57 (19.3)
Job satisfaction, n (%) .002
 Dissatisfied 113 (10.2) 40 (35.4) 58 (51.3) 15 (13.3)
Intent to leave, n (%) <0.001
Likely to leave 235 (21.2) 79 (33.6) 126 (53.6) 30 (12.8)

Abbreviations: m = mean, SD = standard deviation, n = number, NP = nurse practitioner.Notes: P-values generated from chi-squared tests. Structural capability index score ranges are based on dividing practices into four groups based on the aggregate structural capabilities score. The low-scoring practices include those in the first quartile, with scores ranging between 0 and 0.39. The medium-scoring practices include those in the second and third quartiles, with scores between 0.41 and 0.73. The high-scoring practices include those in the fourth quartile, with scores ranging between 0.75 and 1.0.
