解决护理短缺的努力必须考虑到老龄化的护理供应和55岁及以上护士劳动参与率的下降。留住年长、有经验的护士的努力微乎其微，在决定离开这一职业时，很少注意照顾老年人的作用。这项试点研究探讨了目前的工作场所的做法，可能有助于提前退出老年护士从医院的劳动力。对纽约一家医院的28名老年护理注册护士和辅助护理人员进行了访谈。受访者报告说，他们的双重角色的成功管理取决于确定单位和轮班，适合他们的需求，建立家庭和工作之间的明确界限，以及他们对护理的热爱。建议采取“照顾照顾者友好”的做法，如创造性的、灵活的时间安排;接触社会工作者;金融和法律的服务;以及提高管理人员对照顾者压力的认识。
Attempts to address the nursing shortage must consider the aging nursing supply and the decreased labor participation among nurses at age 55 and older. Efforts to retain older, experienced nurses have been meager, and little attention is paid to the role of eldercare in decisions to leave the profession. This pilot study examines current workplace practices that may contribute to early withdrawal of older nurses from the hospital workforce. Interviews with 28 elder caregiving registered nurses and assistive nursing personnel at a New York hospital were conducted. Respondents reported that successful management of their dual roles rests on identifying units and shifts that suit their needs, erecting clear boundaries between home and work, and their love of nursing. "Caregiver-friendly" practices such as creative, flexible scheduling; access to social workers; financial and legal services; and increased awareness among managers about caregiver strains were recommended.
