探討醫院層級及科別對專師工作內容及留任意願的影響

Exploring the Influences of Hospital Tiers and Working Units on Job Content and Intent to Stay in Nurse Practitioners

背景： 專科護理師（簡稱專師）的工作內容及留任意願已有初探，但專師工作內容及留任意願受醫院層級及 科別之影響，卻較少被探討。

目的： 探討不同醫院層級或科別之專師在工作內容及留任意願的差異，及工作內容和留任意願的相關性。

結　論： 醫學中心與內外科病房的專師在工作內容的執行狀況與其他專師有差別，僅四成的專師想留在目前 的工作，且工作內容可能會影響留任意願。建議管理者提供支持，彈性調整專師的工作項目及工作 時數，提升專師的留任意願，增加人力的穩定性。

 

Background: Job content, time allocation and intent to stay have been studied in nurse practitioners (abbreviated as NP). The influences of hospital tiers or working units on job content, time allocation and intent to stay were less studied.

Purposes: The study aims to explore the differences of job content and intent to stay among varied hospital tiers or working units, and to determine the level of correlation between job content and intention to stay.

Conclusions: Nurse practitioners working in medical centers or medical-surgical units have differences in job content and time spent with their counterpart NPs. Only forty percent of NPs showed their intention to stay at their current positions. Managers were recommended to provide adequate support and adjust NPs’ job content and working hours in order to increase NPs’ intent to stay and maintain the stability of manpower.
