Abstract

Background: The recruitment and retention of sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) is a nationwide challenge, especially in the rural U.S.

Aim: To examine SANEs' perception of the certification and its relation to the certification renewal outcome.

Methods: Twenty-three survey responses were collected from South Texas SANE certification program participants and were analyzed using t tests and linear probability regression models. In addition, we analyzed open-ended responses qualitatively.

Results: The participants scored intrinsic value (e.g., internal benefits) higher than the extrinsic value (e.g., related to external factors). The effect of the value scores on the probability of renewal varied based on model specification. Nurses working on call and shifts had an increased probability of renewal compared with those working daytime. Extrinsic factors prevented most nurses from recertifying.

Discussion: To facilitate retention, institutional support that enhances the extrinsic value of the certification may be most effective for SANEs in rural communities.

性侵犯护士审查员认证和保留的感知价值：德克萨斯州南部农村社区的案例研究。

背景：性侵犯护士审查员（SANEs）的招聘和保留是一个全国性的挑战，特别是在美国农村。目的：研究SANEs对认证的看法及其与认证更新结果的关系。方法：收集来自南德克萨斯州SANE认证项目参与者的23份调查问卷，采用t检验和线性概率回归模型进行分析。此外，我们对开放式回答进行了定性分析。结果：参与者对内在价值（如内部利益）的评分高于外在价值（如与外部因素相关）。数值分数对更新概率的影响因模型规格而异。与白天工作的护士相比，随叫随到和轮班工作的护士更新的可能性更高。外部因素阻碍了大多数护士重新认证。讨论：为了便于保留，提高证书外在价值的体制支持对农村社区的安全认证机构可能是最有效的。
