To investigate career paths and nurses' reasons to quit their job in Switzerland.
Increasing the duration of employment is the most efficient measure to reduce the worldwide nursing shortage. The results of the pilot phase for the retrospective cohort nurses at work study are presented.
In 2012, 1085 graduates' names of two test-cohorts (1988 and 1998) from 26 Swiss nursing schools were asked to complete a web-based questionnaire. A snowball method was applied to recruit their graduate mates, together with advertisements through employers, study partners and a press release.
The overall participation rate was 26.5% (n = 287). The median duration of employment in nursing was 23 and 14 years, respectively, and 80% of the potential employment time was spent within nursing. Half of the respondents reported they had left a sector of care, or nursing altogether, at least once, for personal choices, work-family conflict, heavy schedules, high workload, underused skills, lack of participation in decision-making or unsupportive nursing management.
Most Swiss-trained nurses were still employed in nursing 24 and 14 years after graduation, respectively, with a third having worked part-time periods.
Provisional retention recommendations are provided, which will be tested in the full study with validated instruments.
调查瑞士护士的职业发展路径及其离职原因。
延长护士的工作年限是缓解全球护理人员短缺问题最有效的措施。本文介绍了针对在职护士的回顾性队列研究试点阶段的结果。
2012年，研究人员邀请了来自瑞士26所护理学校的两个测试队列（1988年和1998年）的1085名毕业生填写一份网络调查问卷。研究采用滚雪球抽样法招募他们的校友，并通过雇主、研究合作伙伴及新闻稿发布广告进行招募。
总体参与率为26.5%（n = 287）。从事护理工作的中位年限分别为23年和14年，其中80%的潜在工作时间都用于护理工作。一半的受访者表示，他们至少有一次因为个人选择、工作与家庭冲突、工作安排繁重、工作量大、技能未得到充分利用、缺乏决策参与权或护理管理支持不足等原因，离开了护理行业或完全离职。
大多数接受过瑞士培训的护士毕业后分别在护理岗位工作了24年和14年，其中三分之一曾从事过兼职工作。
本文提供了临时留用建议，这些建议将在完整研究中使用经过验证的工具进行测试。
