recent graduate nurse views of nursing work and leadership
Journal of Clinical Nursing, 2013Co-Authors: R Michelle N Cleary, Jan Horsfall, R Debra N Jackson, Paulpandi Muthulakshmi, Glenn E HuntAbstract:AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To assess recent nurse graduates of a large university and seeks their views of university preparation, requisite nursing skills and qualities, workplace transition, supports received, nurse leadership and role models, and career development and retention. BACKGROUND: Concern about attracting and retaining registered nurses is a continuing Workforce Issue in parts of Asia and throughout the world. DESIGN: Qualitative interviews with recent nursing graduates. METHODS: Seventeen face-to-face interviews took place using a structured schedule of 23 questions. Data were coded and analysed by hand to determine clusters of interest and develop themes. RESULTS: Four broad topics emerged: (1) skills and qualities graduates consider central to nursing; (2) the support they received during the transition from graduate to novice practitioner and that which continues; (3) elements they value in nursing role models and leaders; and (4) the ward characteristics that will encourage them to remain in nursing and develop a career. Interviewees expressed concerns about retention-related Issues, making suggestions for improvements. Unique findings focus on the blaming culture that many respondents consider they are working in, and the system whereby they are not free to access postgraduate studies until a specific time frame has elapsed, and when they do pursue further studies, they are bonded to the auspicing hospital/health service. CONCLUSIONS: Responses unique to this research are the explicit concerns about a blaming culture, and complaints about rigid rules (bonding system) that virtually prevent an individual from accessing postgraduate studies independent of the hospital system. Interviewees strongly resent the bonding system that indentures them to that place of work. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Quality health care is dependent on a well-educated, sustainable and skilled nursing Workforce. Recognition of the concerns of newly graduated nurses in relation to nursing skill acquisition, workplace support Issues and career concerns can assist in ensuring these Issues are adequately addressed and in turn contribute to a stronger, more stable and competent nursing Workforce.

JAMA Surgery, 2014Co-Authors: Jonathan Aboagye, Heather E Kaiser, A J HayangaAbstract:CI, 1.40-1.85; P < .001), general surgeons (2.01; 95% CI, 1.28-2.73; P < .001), and radiation oncologists (0.68; 95% CI, 0.59-0.77; P < .001) per 100 000 people living in urban vs rural counties. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE A rural-urban disparity exists in the density of gastroenterologists, general surgeons, and radiation oncologists who traditionally provide colorectal cancer screening services and treatment. This might affect access to these services and may negatively influence outcomes for colorectal cancer in rural areas.

retention an unresolved Workforce Issue affecting rural occupational therapy services
Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 2002Co-Authors: Anna Mills, Jeannine MillsteedAbstract:Failure to retain health professionals in rural areas contributes to the poor health status of these communities through an inability to deliver reliable and consistent services. Considerable attention has been focused on factors affecting recruitment of health professionals. Far less is known about factors affecting the retention of occupational therapists. This was the focus of this study. Ethnographic interviews were used to explore the experiences of 10 occupational therapists who had left rural practice. Six themes emerged from the participants’ experiences, from when they first considered rural practice to reflections following their departure from it. These themes were initial appeal, facing the challenge, rural practice Issues, the social sphere, reasons for leaving and the value of rural experience. These factors gave rise to a proposed Model of Retention Equilibrium, which suggests that retention can be improved by addressing the imbalance between incentives to leave and incentives to stay. The model provides a useful framework for occupational therapists contemplating rural practice, as well as for health services managers responsible for service delivery in rural areas.
