Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) choosing to quit their primary place of employment. Interpretative phenomenological analysis is the qualitative framework for this study. Ten CRNAs were interviewed about their experience of quitting their job. Interview transcripts were analyzed for common themes. Common themes were the desire for better work-life fit, the impact of stressful work intensity, and exposure to poor leadership. This study suggests that a focus on ensuring job fit for personal goals outside of work may improve CRNA retention. This study also provides practice implications for hospital leadership, as well as direction for future qualitative and quantitative research.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1931 and located in Park Ridge, Ill., the AANA is the professional organization for more than 90 percent of the nation’s nurse anesthetists. As advanced practice nurses, CRNAs administer approximately 32 million anesthetics in the United States each year. CRNAs practice in every setting where anesthesia is available and are the sole anesthesia providers in more than two-thirds of all rural hospitals. They administer every type of anesthetic, and provide care for every type of surgery or procedure, from open heart to cataract to pain management.
