Factors associated with the recruitment and retention of the current and future nursing workforce - a longitudinal e-cohort study

澳大利亚医疗保健系统的整体有效性取决于一支知识渊博、技术娴熟、具有生存能力的护理队伍。目前，澳大利亚保健系统严重缺乏积极工作的合格护士，这限制了该系统有效管理老龄化人口的能力。这项研究项目的广泛目标是检查与招聘和留住大都市、区域和农村地区现有和未来的护理劳动力相关的因素；特别关注工伤。此外，该项目将巧妙地利用信息技术来开发创新的电子队列技术。

The overall effectiveness of the Australian health care system is dependent on a knowledgeable, skilled and viable nursing workforce. Currently there is a critical shortage of qualified nurses actively working in the Australian health care system which limits the capacity of the system to effectively manage an ageing population. The broad aim of this research project is to examine factors associated with recruitment and retention of the current and future nursing workforce across metropolitan, regional and rural areas; with a particular focus on work-based injury. In addition, the project will employ smart use of information technology to develop innovative e-cohort techniques.
