Retention of nursing staff is more complex in a correctional facility. After a period of 3 years, only 20% of the staff remained employed at this study facility. Without retention of qualified correctional nurses, there are decreases in access to care, gaps in continuity of care, and less time for mentorship. Trained correctional nurses improve patient and staff safety, provide more education, and are more team-oriented. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers and benefits to nursing staff satisfaction with their job and the likelihood that they will continue to work in correctional settings. Practice and patient care will be favorably impacted if correctional nurses are provided with services such as new hire orientation, clinical ladder programs to recruit and retain nursing staff, and teambuilding.
在惩教机构中，护理人员的留用情况更为复杂。三年后，该研究机构中仅有20%的员工仍在就职。若无法留住合格的惩教护士，会导致医疗服务可及性降低、护理连续性出现缺口，且指导时间减少。训练有素的惩教护士能提高患者和员工的安全性，提供更多教育，且更具团队导向性。本研究的目的是确定影响护理人员工作满意度的障碍和益处，以及他们继续在惩教机构工作的可能性。如果为惩教护士提供诸如新员工入职培训、用于招募和留住护理人员的临床晋升计划以及团队建设等服务，将会对实践和患者护理产生积极影响。
