  • physical and mental determinants of dropout and retention among Nursing students protocol of the spring cohort study
    BMC Nursing, 2018
    Co-Authors: E J M Bakker, Jos H A M Kox, Harald S Miedema, Sita M A Biermazeinstra, J Runhaar, Cecile R L Boot, Allard J Van Der Beek, Pepijn D D M Roelofs
    Abstract:

    The shortage of Nursing Professionals is of growing concern. The causes of this include the demanding physical and mental workload, leading to a dropout of nurses that may start during their education. However, it is unclear to what extent Nursing students already perceive a physical and mental workload leading to health problems during their Nursing education and placement, and to what extent these health problems cause students to dropout from Nursing education. Very few prospective cohort studies have investigated protective and risk factors in relation to dropout and retention among Nursing students. Three cohorts of third-year Nursing students will be followed for 2.5 years. Students will be enrolled from the Bachelor of Nursing program of the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. At baseline, students will receive a self-administered questionnaire. Primary outcome is dropout from Nursing education and dropout from the Nursing Profession. Data on dropout from Nursing education will be retrieved from the student administration on a yearly basis. Dropout from the Nursing Profession will be measured one year after graduation, using the self-reported questionnaire. Secondary outcomes are presenteeism and sick leave (during internship/work). In addition to student characteristics, the questionnaire asks about physical and mental internship/work characteristics, personal and behavioral factors, and experienced physical and mental burden. Main aims of this study are to determine: 1) the prevalence and incidence rates of dropout, 2) the protective and risk factors, and early indicators of dropout, and 3) the interaction between these factors and the indicators. Data analysis of a large, prospective cohort study with regard to determinants of dropout and retention of Nursing students and newly graduated nurses is in progress. Findings emerging from this study can be used to develop a predictive model to identify the first indicators of dropout from Nursing education and Nursing Profession, for which targeted interventions can be deployed.

  • risk factors and prevalence of burnout syndrome in the Nursing Profession
    International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2015
    Co-Authors: Guillermo Canadasde A La Fuente, Cristina Vargas, Concepcion San Luis, I Garcia, Gustavo R Canadas, Emilia I De La Fuente
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background The burnout syndrome is beginning to be regarded as an occupational illness of high prevalence among Nursing in Spain. Individuals suffering from the syndrome manifest important health problems. More information about prevalence and risk factors for burnout is needed to prevent the syndrome and to determine the most appropriate clinical interventions when the disorder appears. Objectives Burnout levels were evaluated in a group of nurses. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of burnout, to identify the variables related to burnout and to propose a risk profile for this syndrome among the Nursing personnel. Setting The study was carried out in public health centers in Andalusia (Spain). Methods The sample consisted of 676 Nursing Professionals from public health centers. Dependent variables were the three Burnout dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Independent variables were socio-demographic, organizational, personality-related variables. Results The nurses manifested average to high burnout levels. There were statistically significant differences in burnout levels associated with the following variables: age, gender, marital status, having children, level of healthcare, type of work shift, healthcare service areas and conducting administrative tasks. Burnout was also associated with personality-related variables. Conclusions The prevalence of burnout among Nursing Professionals is high. Gender, age, marital status, level of healthcare, work shift and healthcare service areas predicted at least one of the dimensions of the syndrome. Neuroticism, agreeability, extraversion and conscientiousness are personality traits that predict at least two of the dimensions of burnout syndrome in nurses. Therefore, personality factors should be considered in any theory of risk profiles for developing burnout syndrome in the Nursing Profession.

  • job demands resources burnout and intention to leave the Nursing Profession a questionnaire survey
    International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2010
    Co-Authors: Genevieve Jourdain, Denis Chenevert
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives The aims of the paper are to examine the role of burnout in the relationship between stress factors related to nurses' work and social environment and intention to leave the Profession and to investigate the nature of the relationship between burnout and intention to leave the Nursing Profession. Background A postulate of the job demands–resources model is that two distinct yet related processes contribute to the development of burnout. The energetic process originates from demands and is mainly centered on emotional exhaustion; the motivational process originates from resources and is mainly centered on depersonalization. Moreover, we postulated that the two components of burnout are linked indirectly to intention to leave the Profession via psychosomatic complaints, associated with the energetic process, and via Professional commitment, associated with the motivational process. Method The research model was tested on cross-sectional data collected in 2005 from 1636 registered nurses working in hospitals who responded to a self-administrated questionnaire. Results Demands are the most important determinants of emotional exhaustion and indirectly induce depersonalization via emotional exhaustion, whereas resources mainly predict depersonalization. Moreover, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization are linked to psychosomatic complaints and Professional commitment, which are in turn associated with intention to leave the Profession. Conclusion The results suggest that a dual strategy is needed in order to retain nurses within the Profession: a decrease in job demands, coupled with an increase in available job resources. In particular, nurses' tasks and role should be restructured to reduce work overload and increase the meaning of their work.
