A prospective study of nurses’ intentions to leave the profession during their first five years of practice in Sweden

Early career experiences and perceptions - a qualitative exploration of the turnover of young registered nurses and intention to leave the nursing profession in Finland

“…Young RNs have reported experiencing high levels of burnout (Rudman et al 2014), emotional exhaustion (Laschinger 2012), job dissatisfaction (Tsai & Wu 2010) and career dissatisfaction (Scott et al 2008). In a study by Suzuki et al (2010), 4.6% of Japanese novice nurses had resigned from their job within 15 months of practice.…”

Sense of Coherence, a Worthy Factor toward Nursing Student and New Graduate Satisfaction with Nursing, Goal Setting Affinities, and Coping Tendencies (Le sens de la cohérence, un facteur déterminant de la satisfaction des étudiantes et des diplômées de leur carrière en sciences infirmières, de leur propension à établir des objectifs et à trouver des mécanismes de coping)

“…Anxiety is often masked with a smiling face to avoid being singled out amongst the more experienced nursing team (Lively, 2000;Pearson & Porath, 2012). Consecutive days of this routine, coupled with heavy workloads, put new nurses at high risk for emotional exhaustion and burnout; one in five novice nurses feel burned out with the intention of leaving the profession within five years (Rudman, Gustavsson, & Hultell, 2014). Compounding this, those who have a lower sense of coherence are more likely to abuse substances to cope with their stress (Larm, Åslund, Starrin, & Nilsson, 2016).…”

“…While the concept of burnout in nursing remains underdeveloped, research suggests that stressors toward burnout may begin in the undergraduate setting. Student nurses who are already experiencing feelings of burnout are at a significantly higher risk of leaving their position after only 10 to 15 months (Rudman & Gustavsson, 2012;Rudman et al, 2014). Workplace stressors may not be immediately changeable, but how one comes to these environments is changeable.…”

“…This perspective is important because many novice nurses are leaving the profession due to burnout (Suzuki et al, 2010) and the research suggests the stressors toward burnout may begin in the undergraduate experience (Rudman & Gustavsson, 2012). Additionally, transition programs often focus on the first six months to a year of practice, but 47% experience a significant increase in burnout during their second year in the workforce, and one in five novice nurses felt periods of feeling burned out with the intention of leaving the profession within five years (Rudman et al, 2014).…”

"You Can't Feel Healthier than Your Caregiver" - The Ripple Effect of Trust and Empathy for Patients and Health Care Staff, Cultivated through Cultural Activities

“…For example, nurses have high rates of stress and fatigue both during their time studying and early on in their careers [4,5]. Work-related stress not only causes individual suffering, but is also responsible for costly sick leave, especially in health care [2].…”
