Tiivistelmä
There is a global shortage of nurses, which is further compounded by clinical nurses leaving the profession. Finland is also affected by this trend, with many nurses leaving the workforce. This study aimed to understand why Finnish nurses choose to pursue a career in nursing, as well as the factors that contribute to nurses leaving the profession. The study used a literature review and semi-structured interviews to collect data. Twelve articles met the eligibility criteria for the literature review, and five nurses who have left the profession voluntarily participated in the research interview. The data were analysed using content analysis, with the Herzberg Two-Factor Theory employed as the theoretical framework for this research.
The results of both the literature review and the interviews showed many similarities in the data obtained. However, additional insights emerged from the interviews, providing more detailed information about this study. Three main themes emerged from the content analysis: personal, professional, and motivator factors. The personal factor provided insight into individual nurses' circumstances that encouraged them to leave the profession. The professional factor highlighted organizational conditions and factors that caused dissatisfaction among nurses, leading to high attrition rates.
Furthermore, motivator factors focused on the reasons behind Finnish nurses choosing to become nurses. The results showed that nurse attrition is not caused by a single event but rather by a combination of dissatisfying circumstances, mostly in the workplace. To address the growing demand for nurses and low retention rates, there is a need for strategies and measures to attract and retain nurses, leveraging the perspectives shared by nurses.
