To identify key attributes of Canadian clinical registered dietitian (RD) jobs associated with high rates of turnover. Managers of clinical RDs in Canada were eligible to complete a survey on the topic of turnover in clinical RD positions. Specifically, key details were sought regarding positions with the highest and lowest turnover in each manager's portfolio. High turnover (HT) positions turned over an average of 4.0 times in a 5-year period in contrast to 0.3 times in low turnover (LT) positions. Resignation was the top reason for turnover in both HT and LT positions. HT and LT positions were of analogous full-time equivalent, had comparable caseloads, and served clients/patients with similar diagnoses including diabetes and neurological conditions. There is significant variation in the frequency of turnover across positions in clinical dietetics in Canada. What differentiates HT positions from LT positions remains unclear. More research is required to guide managers seeking to balance turnover and preclude uneven nutrition care quality across units and programs.
确定与高离职率相关的加拿大临床注册营养师（RD）岗位的关键特征。加拿大临床注册营养师的管理人员有资格完成一项关于临床RD岗位人员流动情况的调查。具体而言，需要了解每位管理人员管理范围内离职率最高和最低的岗位的关键细节。高离职率（HT）岗位在5年内平均更替4.0次，相比之下，低离职率（LT）岗位为0.3次。辞职是HT和LT岗位人员流动的首要原因。HT和LT岗位的全职等效工作量类似，病例量相当，服务的客户/患者诊断相似，包括糖尿病和神经系统疾病。加拿大临床营养学各岗位的人员流动频率存在显著差异。HT岗位与LT岗位的区别尚不清楚。需要更多研究来指导管理人员平衡人员流动，并避免各科室和项目之间营养护理质量不均衡的问题。
