本文通过对护理文献的回顾，旨在找出对合格护士离职和缺勤影响最大的因素，可能影响两者的共同因素，以及缺勤与离职的关系。一个假设的模型，在文献中描述了这些变量之间的预期关系，提出了在实证研究中进行测试。该审查确定留任意向是对离职影响最大的变量。留下来的意愿反过来又与工作满意度密切相关。其他变量被单个研究确定为对留下来的意愿有影响，但没有得到其他研究结果的支持；例外情况是薪酬、替代就业机会和亲属责任，这得到了两项研究结果的支持。工作满意度和缺勤之间的关系尚不清楚，需要进一步调查。然而，工作满意度被确定为可能影响缺席和留下的意图，亲属责任被确定为缺席和留下的意图的共同先决条件。同样，缺勤被认为是离职的先决条件。因此，预计缺勤与离职率呈正相关，与留任意愿负相关。了解这种关系应该允许确定管理策略，以减少人员流动和缺勤。1997爱思唯尔科学有限公司版权所有。
This review of the nursing literature aims to identify the factors with the greatest influence on turnover and absence of qualified nurses, possible common factors influencing both, and the relationship between absence and turnover. A hypothetical model grounded in the literature which depicts the expected relationships between these variables is presented for testing in an empirical study.The review identifies intent to stay in current employment as the variable with the greatest influence on turnover. Intent to stay is in turn most strongly associated with job satisfaction. Other variables are identified by single studies as having an influence on intent to stay, but are not supported by the results of other studies; exceptions are pay, opportunity for alternative employment and kinship responsibility, which are supported by the results of two studies. The relationship between job satisfaction and absence is unclear and requires further investigation. However, job satisfaction is identified as possibly influencing both absence and intent to stay and kinship responsibility is identified as a common antecedent of absence and intent to stay. Similarly, absence is identified as an antecedent to turnover. Thus, it is expected that absence would be positively related to turnover and negatively related to intent to stay. Understanding such relationships should allow identification of management strategies to reduce both turnover and absence. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
