| Summary, etc. |
Midcareer nurses continue to be overlooked in the current nursing shortage that is amplified in intensive care units (ICUs) requiring greater numbers of specialized nurses. The aim of this study was to discover what midcareer nurses perceive would be effective retention strategies. As a combination of both qualitative and quantitative approaches, Q methodology was used to allow for the development of innovative strategies as well as t provide an understanding of a population of viewpoints and preferences that can guide retention efforts. Forty ICU nurses between the ages of 25 and 44 years from within a Canadian academic health science corporation completed a 45-item Q sort representing their ideas for increasing staff retention. Data were analyzed using centroid factor extraction and varimax rotation in PQMethod version 2.11. Four viewpoints emerged: The Healthy Workplace and Respect Seeker, the Flexibility and Reward Seeker, The Professional Development and Teamwork Seeker, and The Lifestyle Seeker. Correlates between the factors were appropriately weak, with seemingly distinct demographics characterizing each. These finding s suggest a possible association between perceptions and both years of nursing experience as well as age. Implications from the study include the need to involve frontline nurses in developing strategies that will retain them. Following further investigation of the nurses' preferred strategies, it may be necessary for organizations to develop an array of retention strategies rather than implementing a single solution. In future research, generational preferences and the possible dissonance between nurse mangers and frontline nurses' perceptions should be explored. |
