Extensive research describes how nurses experience their work environment. The conditions are described as stressful and dissatisfying with nurses intending to leave their workplace. Knowledge about the personal perception regarding why nurses consider leaving the hospital workplace is limited. The purpose of this study was to understand why hospital nurses remain in their workplace, which facilitates their continuation in the profession.
The objective was to explore and describe factors explaining why hospital nurses remain in the workplace.
This was a descriptive qualitative study with a purposive sample of hospital nurses in Sweden. The salutogenic theory was the basis for the interview guide and the semi-structured questions. Individual interviews were conducted in a hospital in western Sweden. Content analysis was performed to organize the coded data according to the sense of coherence.
Data saturation was achieved with 12 interviews. Within the three themes of coherence (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness), ten subthemes were categorized from the data as follows: job satisfaction and fun at work, acknowledgement and productivity, togetherness and team security, manageable workload, variable work and challenging situations, workplace and personal space balance, collaboration and supportive leadership, valued role and good work, commitment and involvement, and pride in the professional role.
The main findings of this study have shown the critical importance of being in a meaningful, comprehensible and manageable work context that supports nurses in maintaining their professional identity.
大量研究描述了护士如何体验他们的工作环境。这些条件被描述为压力大且令人不满，护士们打算离开工作场所。关于护士考虑离开医院工作场所原因的个人认知方面的知识有限。本研究的目的是了解医院护士留在工作场所的原因，这有助于他们继续从事该职业。
目的是探索和描述解释医院护士留在工作场所原因的因素。
这是一项描述性定性研究，对瑞典医院护士进行了有目的抽样。健康生成理论是访谈指南和半结构化问题的基础。在瑞典西部的一家医院进行了个人访谈。进行了内容分析，以根据连贯感对编码数据进行整理。
通过12次访谈实现了数据饱和。在连贯的三个主题（可理解性、可管理性和意义性）中，从数据中分类出了十个子主题，如下所示：工作满意度和工作乐趣、认可和生产力、团结和团队安全感、可管理的工作量、多样化的工作和具有挑战性的情况、工作场所和个人空间平衡、协作和支持性领导、有价值的角色和出色的工作、承诺和参与，以及对职业角色的自豪感。
本研究的主要发现表明，处于一个有意义、可理解且可管理的工作环境中对支持护士维持其职业身份至关重要。
