Results of an initial study indicated that the most significant factor affecting retention for Physiotherapists in Northern Ontario was perceived opportunity for career development. A follow-up study was completed two years later to determine: 1) actual job turnover and regional attrition among physiotherapists in Northern Ontario; and 2) the predictive validity of variables identified in the first study regarding job turnover and regional attrition. Job turnover occurred in 29.5% of those sampled and the regional attrition rate was 12%. Discriminant function analysis revealed factors affecting job turnover and regional attrition including professional experience, practice location, opportunity for career development and size of community of residence. Based on previous intention, indicated by participants, follow-up revealed that the initial study correctly predicted 77.5% of those who changed their jobs and 74.1% of those who left Northern Ontario. Identified factors provide direction for the development of strategies for recruitment and retention of physiotherapists.
一项初步研究结果表明，影响安大略省北部物理治疗师留任意愿的最主要因素是其对职业发展机会的认知。两年后完成了一项后续研究，以确定：1）安大略省北部物理治疗师的实际离职率和地区人员损耗率；2）在第一项研究中确定的有关离职率和地区人员损耗率的变量的预测效度。抽样人群中有29.5%的人发生了工作变动，地区人员损耗率为12%。判别函数分析揭示了影响工作变动和地区人员损耗的因素，包括专业经验、执业地点、职业发展机会和居住社区规模。根据参与者之前表达的意向，后续研究表明，初步研究正确预测了77.5%的换工作者以及74.1%的离开安大略省北部的人员。所确定的因素为制定物理治疗师招聘和留用策略提供了方向。
