  • Title: A New Perspective on Nursing Retention: Job Embeddedness in Acute Care Nurses.
    Author: Hopson M, Petri L, Kufera J.
    Journal: J Nurses Prof Dev; 2018; 34(1):31-37. PubMed ID: 29298226.
    Abstract:
    Job embeddedness considers job satisfaction while incorporating the concepts of environment and community. This exploratory, mixed methods study used the Job Embeddedness Instrument to examine factors that influence retention of acute care nurses. Qualitative methods informed the survey results. Increasing age, ties to community, and peer relationships were found to be most indicative of job embeddedness. Nursing professional development practitioners can impact retention by focusing on factors that encourage nurses to stay in their positions.
