The aim of the study is to examine nurses' job involvement and intentions to continue in their current position.
Globally, the supply of nurses fails to meet the labour markets' high demand. Compared to specialist health service, the community health service has the greatest challenge when it comes to nursing shortage. There is a lack of studies comparing nurses working in different parts of the healthcare system in research focusing on nurses' intentions to continue in their current position. Similarly, there has been relatively little research on nurses' job involvement, even less how it is associated with retaining the nurses, despite indications that job involvement may be the key to job-related motivated behaviour.
A descriptive comparative study with a cross-sectional design.
The study comprises 297 nurses from the community health service and specialist health service, respectively. The relationships between nurses' intention to continue and participant characteristics were examined using binary logistic regression. Reporting followed the STROBE guidelines.
Nurses in the community health service are older, have more children under the age of 18 and hold more permanent positions than nurses in the specialist health service. Job involvement is the only variable associated with nurses' intention to continue in their current position regardless of whether the nurse works in the community health service or specialist health service.
The results indicate that the community health service has the same possibilities as the specialist health service to retain nurses in their current jobs.
The results indicate that nursing leaders/employers with a goal to retaining nurses are recommended to focus on improving the nurses' job involvement.
本研究旨在考察护士的工作投入度以及继续留在现有岗位的意愿。
在全球范围内，护士的供应量无法满足劳动力市场的高需求。与专科卫生服务相比，社区卫生服务在护理人员短缺方面面临着最大的挑战。在研究中，比较在不同医疗保健系统部分工作的护士对继续留在现有岗位的意愿的研究较少，而关注护士工作投入度的研究则更少。尽管有迹象表明，工作投入度可能是与工作相关的积极行为的关键，但也很少有研究表明工作投入度与保留护士之间的关系。
一项描述性比较研究，采用横断面设计。
本研究包括分别来自社区卫生服务和专科卫生服务的 297 名护士。使用二项逻辑回归检查护士继续工作的意愿与参与者特征之间的关系。报告遵循 STROBE 指南。
社区卫生服务中的护士年龄较大，18 岁以下的孩子较多，且拥有更多的永久职位。工作投入度是与护士继续留在现有岗位意愿相关的唯一变量，无论护士在社区卫生服务还是专科卫生服务工作。
结果表明，社区卫生服务与专科卫生服务一样，有能力让护士留在现有岗位。
结果表明，护理领导者/雇主若想留住护士，建议将重点放在提高护士的工作投入度上。
