Abstract

Graduate nurse attrition is an increasing phenomenon within a world of decreasing nursing numbers. The newly developed nursing self-concept of the graduate nurse may provide a key indicator for predicting graduate retention. This study explores the development of multiple dimensions of nursing self-concept and examines their relationship to graduate nurse retention plans. A descriptive survey design with repeated measures was utilised to assess nurse self-concept and retention plans. The key findings suggest that multiple dimensions of graduate nurse self-concepts rise significantly in the second half of their graduate year and that nurse general self-concept is a strong predictor of graduate nurse retention. The implications of this study are that monitoring of self-concept throughout the transitional period for new nurses can lead to early detection and appropriate intervention strategies thereby improving retention rates for new nurses.

摘要

在护士数量不断减少的背景下，毕业护士流失现象日益严重。新毕业护士新形成的护理自我概念可能是预测其留任情况的关键指标。本研究探讨了护理自我概念多个维度的发展，并考察了它们与毕业护士留任计划的关系。采用具有重复测量的描述性调查设计来评估护士的自我概念和留任计划。主要研究结果表明，毕业护士自我概念的多个维度在毕业年下半年显著提升，并且护士的总体自我概念是毕业护士留任的有力预测指标。本研究的意义在于，在新护士的过渡阶段对自我概念进行监测能够实现早期发现并制定恰当的干预策略，从而提高新护士的留任率。
