台灣護理人力短缺與留任措施

The Nursing Shortage and Nursing Retention Strategies in Taiwan

台灣近期各急性醫療機構，因護理人力不足紛紛關病房或減床，護理人力的短缺主因為護理工作負荷過重、壓力過大。本文旨在透過文獻探究和研討會議紀錄，找到改善護理人員工作負荷的方法，包括：護理照護模式變革、創新性之護理作業簡化、形塑職場尊重與跨團隊合作文化等。透過行政院衛生署的護理人力發展政策，做為護理人力流失之改善對策。

A chronic shortage of working nurses has led hospitals in Taiwan to close wards and reduce bed numbers. Work overload and job stress are major causes of this shortage. The purpose of this study is to propose a solution to improve the nursing workload situation. We reviewed literature articles and conference presentations to synthesize relevant measures, which included reforming the current care model; using innovation to simplify nursing practice; and creating a culture of workplace respect and inter-team cooperation. Based on this, we proposed our nursing retention strategy after reviewing national Department of Health development policies on nursing manpower.
