Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the motives of the nurses for career choices in pediatric care. An analysis of literary sources, a documentary method and a questionnaire are attached. The opinion of 70 nurses working in children’s departments of Multiprofile Active Care Hospitals, Creches and Individual Practices for Primary Care in Varna in the period November 2017 - August 2018 was studied. The results prove that the selection of careers in the field of pediatric nursing for a significant part of the respondents is considerable and purposeful. The majority of the nurses confirm that if they had the opportunity to repeat their choice, they would once again turn to work in the field of pediatric care, driven by love for children and the belief that this is vocation. Leading factors that motivate them to continue to care for the children are the nature of the work and the favorable working environment.
期刊介绍:
Medicina Social es un foro académico internacional con acceso abierto y revisión por pares destinado a la promoción y el desarrollo de la Medicina Social. La revista se escribe con la inventiva y la visión crítica y comprometida que animó a los fundadores de la Medicina Social. Para lograr esto: 1. Actuamos como foro de investigación y docencia respecto a las formas en las que los factores sociales no sólo influyen sobre la salud y la enfermedad sino que a su vez son modificados por las mismas. 2. Apoyamos los objetivos de Salud para Todos de Alma Ata y la visión holística de la salud contenida en la Carta de la OMS. 3. Producimos materiales científicamente calificados, intelectualmente honestos, libres de sesgos comerciales, claramente escritos y presentados. 4. Organizamos la revista de manera tal que refleje y apoye la diversa comunidad internacional que trabaja en el campo de la medicina social. Para realizar los objetivos de “Salud para Todos” debemos tener una revista que incluya todas las voces.
