Because higher-than-average turnover rates for nurses who work in remote and rural areas are the norm, the authors conducted a study to identify professional and personal factors that influenced rural nurses' decisions to resign. Using a mail survey, the authors gathered qualitative and quantitative data from nurses who had resigned from rural and remote areas in Queensland, Australia. Their findings, categorized into professional and rural influences, highlight the importance of work force planning strategies that capitalize on the positive aspects of rural and remote area practice, to retain nurses in nonmetropolitan areas.
由于在偏远和农村地区工作的护士离职率高于平均水平是常态，作者开展了一项研究，以确定影响农村护士辞职决定的专业和个人因素。作者通过邮件调查，从澳大利亚昆士兰州农村和偏远地区辞职的护士那里收集了定性和定量数据。他们的研究结果分为专业影响和农村影响两类，突出了利用农村和偏远地区工作积极方面的劳动力规划策略对于留住非大都市地区护士的重要性。
