Abstract
Introduction: Emergency nursing demands high levels of dedication and resilience. This study reports on the "Driving Forces" within a broader theoretical framework of "Achieving Personal and Professional Sustainability in Emergency Nursing," highlighting the importance of understanding what motivates and retains emergency nurses to improve their performance and longevity.
Methods: To explore how emergency nurses sustain themselves personally and professionally, this research used a constructivist grounded theory approach, involving 29 registered nurses from diverse backgrounds in the Indonesian emergency nursing context. Data were collected via in-depth semistructured interviews, which were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed systematically.
Results: The study revealed 3 subcategories under the "Driving Forces" category: "Inherent Inspiration," "Extrinsic Motivations," and "Professional Expectations." These subcategories highlight the significant impact of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, along with professional expectations, on the commitment and sustainability of emergency nurses.
Discussion: This research underscores the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and professional expectations on emergency nurses' commitment in Indonesia, indicating potential applicability in enhancing nurse dedication and motivation in similar international contexts. Caution is recommended in global generalizations, emphasizing context-specific validations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Emergency Nursing, the official journal of the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), is committed to the dissemination of high quality, peer-reviewed manuscripts relevant to all areas of emergency nursing practice across the lifespan. Journal content includes clinical topics, integrative or systematic literature reviews, research, and practice improvement initiatives that provide emergency nurses globally with implications for translation of new knowledge into practice.
The Journal also includes focused sections such as case studies, pharmacology/toxicology, injury prevention, trauma, triage, quality and safety, pediatrics and geriatrics.
The Journal aims to mirror the goal of ENA to promote: community, governance and leadership, knowledge, quality and safety, and advocacy.
