Nurses' intention to remain employed in hospitals: Understanding the shortage in the context of Myanmar

“…The findings corresponded to a qualitative interview study on 27 nurses' commitment to nursing, which showed their professional commitment was the main reason for their retention (Gould & Fontenla, ). Congruent with a study, which specifically focused on the relationship between nurses' intention to remain and occupational commitment, the study also revealed that normative commitment and its associated feelings of obligation and loyalty play an integral part in nurse retention (Engeda, Birhanu, & Alene, ; Fan et al, ; Gambino, ).

“…The questionnaire consisted of three parts as follows: Individual characteristics; age, gender, marital status, highest educational level, duration of working as a nurse in this hospital, current position of work, and work department.

Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the Psychological Empowerment Instrument For the Brazilian Context

“…Esse tipo de associação é importante porque boas relações entre enfermeiros e gerentes de enfermagem podem influenciar a atitude geral para com a organização. 7 Além disso, o empoderamento pode contribuir para que os profissionais da enfermagem deixem o quadro de passividade, desmotivação e baixa mobilização, para uma posição ativa, criadora de novos espaços dentro da instituição, mostrando resultados na relação equipe-equipe, equipe-profissional e equipe-comunidade. 8 Existem duas perspectivas de empoderamento no ambiente de trabalho: empoderamento estrutural e empoderamento psicológico.…”
