This paper explores the utility of sense of place, place attachment and belonging-in-place for research into rural health workforce retention. One of the key contributors to health disparities between rural and metropolitan-based residents is inadequate staffing of rural health services, and many rural places around the world struggle to retain health professionals. Despite some recognition of the complex array of factors and circumstances impacting rural workforce retention, research focuses primarily on organisational and role-based causes. Health geography and concepts associated with place currently being used in some rural research may offer much to workforce retention research, especially when applied alongside person-centred approaches.
本论文探讨了场所感、场所依恋和归属感在农村卫生人力保留研究中的作用。农村居民与城市居民之间健康差距的一个主要原因是农村卫生服务人员配备不足，而且世界各地的许多农村地区都难以留住卫生专业人员。尽管人们已经认识到影响农村劳动力保留的一系列复杂因素和情况，但研究主要集中在组织和基于角色的原因上。健康地理学和与场所相关的概念目前在一些农村研究中得到应用，它们可能对劳动力保留研究有很大的帮助，特别是在与以人为本的方法结合使用时。
