The programming committee for the 79th Annual SAM International Business Conference is pleased to announce the acceptance of the presentation, Acute Care Nurse Retention: Hygiene and Motivator Factors by Maria Jackson.
In the dynamic world of healthcare, the retention of acute care nurses stands as a critical challenge, directly influencing patient care quality and the efficiency of healthcare delivery systems. A recent academic paper, poised to make a significant impact, addresses this pressing issue with a comprehensive analysis and actionable insights. The paper, which is scheduled to be presented at the upcoming SAM International Business Conference, delves into the factors affecting the intention of acute care nurses to either remain in their positions or leave.
The research undertaken in this study is guided by a fundamental question: What hygiene and motivator factors impact acute care nurses’ decisions regarding their employment continuity? By employing a systematic review methodology, the authors have ensured a rigorous and replicable approach to data collection, analysis, and synthesis. This methodological rigor underpins the credibility and reliability of the findings, offering a solid foundation for the recommendations put forth.
The study’s outcomes are particularly noteworthy, revealing three key findings that illuminate the path toward enhancing nurse retention in acute care settings. These insights culminate in the recommendation that healthcare institutions strive for Magnet designation and leverage data analytics as strategic tools to bolster nurse retention. Magnet designation, recognized as a benchmark for nursing excellence, alongside the strategic use of data analytics, emerges from the research as pivotal elements in addressing the attrition of acute care nurses.
The implications of these findings are far-reaching, offering healthcare managers and practitioners evidence-based strategies to mitigate the loss of skilled nursing professionals. As the paper is presented at the SAM International Business Conference, it is anticipated to spark meaningful discussions among international business and healthcare leaders. The insights provided by this study not only contribute to the academic discourse on nurse retention but also offer practical, implementable solutions to enhance the stability and quality of acute care services. The anticipation surrounding this presentation reflects the broader recognition of the critical role that acute care nurses play in the healthcare ecosystem and the urgent need to address their retention in a thoughtful and effective manner.
