Predictors of home healthcare nurse retention.

J Nurs Scholarsh. 2008;40(2):151-60

Authors: Ellenbecker CH, Porell FW, Samia L, Byleckie JJ, Milburn M

Purpose: To examine the level of job satisfaction and test a theoretical model of the direct and indirect effects of job satisfaction, and individual nurse and agency characteristics, on intent to stay and retention for home healthcare nurses. Design: A descriptive correlation study of home healthcare nurses in six New England states. Methods: Home healthcare nurse job satisfaction self-report data was collected with the HHNJS survey questionnaire & Retention Survey Questionnaire. Findings: Based on a structural equation model, job tenure and job satisfaction were the strongest predictors of nurse retention. Conclusions: Understanding the variables associated with home healthcare nurse retention can help agencies retain nurses in a time of severe nurse shortages and increased patient demand. Clinical Relevance: Predicted nursing shortages and increasing demand have made the retention of experienced, qualified nursing staff essential to assure access to high-quality home healthcare services in the future.
