- Abstract:
- Background: Shortages of nurses nationally are growing; however, there is a growing demand for a skilled nursing workforce to fill the gap. As the aging population increases so is the demand for skilled Registered Nurses (RNs) workforce to provide care in Long term-care (LTC). Therefore, it is important that we identify factors that promote job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction, and promote intent to stay in LTC. Purpose: The purpose of the research study was to describe and explore how selected demographic variables (RNs and LTC characteristics), and job satisfiers/dissatisfiers predict intent to stay of RNs employed in long-term care. Theoretical Framework: Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory was used to predict intent to stay in LTC, while controlling for selected demographic variables. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational design was used to describe the relationship between job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction, and intent to stay in long-term care (LTC). The convenience sample (N= 37 RNs) employed in LTC within the last three years, all members of Florida Association Directors of Nursing Administration (FADONA). The participants were asked to complete three survey instruments. demographic variables, job satisfaction, and intent to stay survey created by the researcher via Survey Monkey©. Data were collected over 11 months electronically via the Survey Monkey© website. A descriptive multiple correlation and multiple regression analyses were performed. Results: Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene factors and job satisfaction correlated with intent to stay. However, the variables were control; years in LTC, hygiene factors, family responsibilities, support from peers/friends, and age, that predicted intent to stay in LTC. In addition, health factors negatively predicted intent to stay and family responsibility positively predicted in LTC. Conclusion: Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene factors were predictive of intent to stay of RNs in LTC. Future research should use Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory and increase sample size in LTC settings. A qualitative approach should be used to identify other factors associated with RN’s intent to stay in LTC.
