“…Most nurses within the interviewed cohort anticipated continuing working at their current work for the next 5 to 10 years, barring personal health setbacks. Our findings are similar to a recent qualitative systematic review of older nurses' experience of providing direct patient care in hospitals (Parsons, Gaudine, & Swab, 2018). In the 12-paper synthesis, one of the key findings was that nurses loved nursing and felt strongly that they identified with the profession.…”

The United States (U.S.) workforce is aging. There is a paucity of literature exploring aging nurses’ work ability. This study explored the work-related barriers and facilitators influencing work ability in older nurses. We conducted a qualitative descriptive study of aging nurses working in direct patient care (N = 17). Participants completed phone or in-person semi-structured interviews. We used a content analysis approach to analyzing the data. The overarching theme influencing the work ability of aging nurses was intrinsically motivated. This was tied to the desire to remain connected with patients at bedside. We identified factors at the individual, unit-based work level and the organizational level associated with work ability. Individual factors that were protective included teamwork, and feeling healthy and capable of doing their job. Unit-based level work factors included having a schedule that accommodated work-life balance, and one’s chronotype promoted work ability. Organizational factors included management that valued worker’s voice supported work ability.

Objective to translate, adapt and test the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Nurse-Work Instability Scale.Method this was a methodological study following the translation steps: synthesis, back-translation, specialist´s committee, semantics analysis, pretest, and psychometric tests. The committee was composed of 5 specialists. For the semantics analysis, 18 nursing workers evaluated the instrument and 30 pretested it. For the psychometric tests, the sample size was 214 nursing workers. The internal construct validity was analyzed by the Rasch model. Reliability was assessed using internal consistency, and concurrent validity with Pearson’s correlation between the Nurse-Work Instability Scale, and the Work Ability Index, Job Stress Scale.Results a Nurse-Work Instability Scale in Brazilian Portuguese with 20 items showed an adequate reliability (0.831), stability (p <0.0001), and an expected correlation with Work Ability Index (r = -0.526; P<0.0001) and Job Stress Scale (r = 0.352; p <0.0001).Conclusion the instrument is appropriated to detect work instability in Brazilian nursing workers with musculoskeletal disorders. Its application is fundamental to avoid long-term withdrawal from work by early identification of the work instability. Furthermore, the scale can assist the development of actions and strategies to prevent the abandonment of the profession of nursing workers affected by musculoskeletal disorders.

“…Several participants in our study and in others (Parsons, Gaudine, & Swab, 2018) expressed a desire to remain employed as long as possible. However, many aging nurses described barriers such as being concerned about physical health issues, inflexible schedules/long work hours, or being able to keep up with new technology, skills, etc.…”
