11.4 Appendix IV - Factors In RN Retention - Thematic
Group by Institutional Category
Question 51 asked the importance of several factors in registered nurses'
decisions to remain in the nursing workforce.
Response options were grouped under the seven categories of (1) work
aspects, (2) structural aspects, (3) professional effectiveness, (4) team
support, (5) salary/prestige, (6) employer care and (7) legal concerns.
The question asked respondents to indicate how important they believed
various factors within these categories were to new graduate RN's when
they were deciding whether or not to stay in the nursing workforce. Respondents
were asked to indicate the importance of these factors using a four point
Likert scale:
1 - unimportant
2 - slightly important
3 - moderately important
4 - very important
top
Category Factors
Work aspects - unpaid overtime, working double shifts, call-backs on
days off, 7 day 24 hour on-call, shiftwork generally, performing physical
labour, floating to wards/units on demand and finding continual cost efficiencies.
Structural aspects - rotating rosters, job sharing, higher/faster patient
turnover, high patient-nurse ratios, recreation leave availability, short
work contracts (eg 3-6 months), contract conditions (eg gag-clause), requirement
to buy/wear a uniform and gender-sensitive work environment.
Professional effectiveness - influence on provision of quality care,
influence on policy development, autonomy in decision-making, being able
to select own workload, full skill utilisation.
Team support - good working relationships with nurse managers, good working
relationships with doctors/physicians, being valued by other health professionals,
good working relationships with other nurses, working in a supportive
environment and workplace bullying.
Salary/prestige - salary levels, career development and/or promotion,
equality with other professional carers, a permanent position, being treated
as a valued health professional, private office facilities, society's
media depiction of nurses, community opinion of nursing/nurses and other
professional team members' opinions of nursing as a career.
Employer care - commitment to excellent nursing care, childcare available
at the workplace, affordable childcare, employer educational support,
regular study leave, paid study leave, safe working environment, parking
at/close to work, recognition of excellence program and worthwhile work
roles for disabled RNs.
Legal concerns - legal responsibility for other carer actions, working
within professional limits, responsibility for select non-nursing mistakes,
worry about personal legal liability, increased consumer expectations
and access to free/subsidised legal advice.
