Understanding and Empowering the Determinants of Nurse Retention in a Clinical Environment

Öz

The loss of the nursing workforce is an essential human resources issue threatening healthcare systems worldwide. The factors affecting nurses leaving their employment or the profession include a stressful work environment, an imbalance between authority and responsibilities, physical or psychological violence, burnout, lack of leadership support, and communication issues. A high turnover rate in patient care services increases the cost of human resources, lowers productivity and efficiency, and negatively impacts patient safety and quality of patient care. A positive and healthy environment for nursing practice is essential for nursing retention and the quality of nursing care. The studies have shown that good governance and nursing leadership, professional development and autonomy, physician-nurse and colleague relations, adequate nursing staffing and resources, and a work environment free from bullying and violence are essential components of positive work environments. Organizations with good governance climate in clinical systems and improved work environments have higher nurse retention rates.

Klinik Ortamda Hemşire Tutmanın Belirleyicilerini Anlama ve Güçlendirme

Öz

Hemşirelik işgücünün kaybı, dünya çapında sağlık sistemlerini tehdit eden önemli bir insan kaynakları sorunudur. Hemşirelerin işini veya mesleğini bırakmasını etkileyen faktörler arasında stresli bir çalışma ortamı, yetki ve sorumluluklar arasındaki dengesizlik, fiziksel veya psikolojik şiddet, tükenmişlik, liderlik desteği eksikliği ve iletişim sorunları sayılabilir. Hasta bakım hizmetlerinde yüksek devir hızı insan kaynakları maliyetini artırmakta, üretkenliği ve verimliliği düşürmekte, hasta güvenliğini ve hasta bakım kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Hemşirelik uygulamaları için olumlu ve sağlıklı bir ortam, hemşirelik bakımı ve hemşirelik bakımının kalitesi için esastır. Çalışmalar, iyi yönetişim ve hemşirelik liderliği, mesleki gelişim ve özerklik, doktor-hemşire ve meslektaş ilişkileri, yeterli hemşire kadrosu ve kaynaklar ile zorbalık ve şiddetten uzak bir işyeri, pozitif çalışma ortamlarının temel bileşenleri olduğunu göstermiştir. Klinik sistemlerde iyi yönetişim iklimine sahip ve çalışma ortamlarını iyileştirmiş kuruluşlar daha yüksek hemşire tutma oranlarına sahiptir.
