This paper aimed to explore the views of employers at senior care businesses concerning the employment of retired nurses in Thailand.
A qualitative interview study was conducted.
Face-to-face and online semi-structured interviews with 78 senior care business employers were conducted.
Business employers had positive sentiments towards employing retired nurses to deliver care and supported them to remain in the profession. Business employers acknowledged that retired nurses have a high level of professional confidence with excellent knowledge and skills. Furthermore, retired nurses were often assigned to work in managerial roles. In addition, flexibility in terms of work hours, suitability of role and responsibilities, and reasonable compensation rates were important to nurses' decisions to remain in or return to the nursing profession. There is a need for the further development of recruitment, retention and reform policies to encourage retired nurses to continue or return to the nursing profession.
We thank all participants for their valuable input throughout the study.
本文旨在探讨高级护理企业雇主对泰国退休护士就业的看法。
采用定性访谈研究。
对 78 名高级护理企业雇主进行了面对面和在线半结构化访谈。
企业雇主对雇用退休护士提供护理持积极态度,并支持他们继续从事该职业。企业雇主承认,退休护士具有高度的职业自信,拥有出色的知识和技能。此外,退休护士通常被分配到管理岗位。此外,工作时间的灵活性、角色和职责的适宜性以及合理的薪酬率对护士决定继续留在护理行业或重返护理行业至关重要。需要进一步制定招聘、留用和改革政策,鼓励退休护士继续或重返护理行业。
我们感谢所有参与者在整个研究过程中的宝贵意见。
