This author aims to analyze and evaluate the unfolding model of voluntary turnover (UMVT) theory, initially theorized by Lee and Mitchell in 1991, to determine its current usage related to nursing turnover. <b>Methods:</b> A literature search was conducted using the search phrases \"unfolding theory of turnover\" and \"unfolding model of voluntary turnover\" to identify empirical evidence. Full-text, English-only journals that primarily utilized the UMVT theory on nurses or other service industries were selected for inclusion. Of the 57 articles identified, 11 were deemed appropriate for analysis. The six steps outlined by Walker and Avant (2019) were used for theory analysis, while Bedow's (2017) points of internal and external criticisms were used to evaluate the theory. <b>Results:</b> The UMVT theory has been tested on a variety of populations, including nurses. This has resulted in new insights into profession-specific turnover and understanding one's decision-making process related to turnover. Despite its decreased usage in the past decade, this theory still underscores benefits for hospital administrators to better understand nursing turnover. Although this theory is not currently ideal for explaining turnover in all populations, such as new graduate nurses or more irrational decision-makers, continued testing of the theory may provide new knowledge regarding voluntary turnover in nursing and highlight areas for refinement. <b>Implications for Practice:</b> The UMVT theory has demonstrated an ability to understand turnover in a variety of professions but remains underresearched internationally. Therefore, new opportunities to test this theory globally are present.</p>","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141433324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Issues and Challenges of Communicating Interfacility Transfer Patient Information in the United States: A Systematic Review.","authors":"Benjamin J Galatzan, Elizabeth Johnson, Tonya Judson","doi":"10.1891/RTNP-2023-0113","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1891/RTNP-2023-0113","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p><b>Background:</b> The interfacility transfer places the patient at greater risk for poor outcomes due to outdated, inaccurate, or miscommunication of patient information at the time of transfer. Rural patients are at greater risk for poor outcomes due to experiencing a higher rate of transfers because of healthcare inequities related to limited access to specialty and critical care services. This paper systematically reviewed the literature to describe the current state of interfacility transfer communication practices and methods in the United States. <b>Methods:</b> The review followed the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines and checklist. PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched using MeSH terms and keywords. Inclusion criteria: peer-reviewd research articles published in English from 2013 to 2022 in the United States, and included both adult and pediatric patient transfers. It was noted that there is a lack of research on nursing-based interfacility transfer communication practices and methods. <b>Results:</b> A total of 763 articles were reviewed, and 24 met eligibility for inclusion. The following coded themes were identified in the research literature: transfer patient characteristics and geographic barriers, communication challenges, transfer process, interoperability, digital intervention, and standardized transfer tools. <b>Conclusion:</b> The development and implementation of an integrated standardized interfacility transfer communication tool are warranted to decrease miscommunication and improve patient outcomes. The integration of technologies such as telehealth, the use of health information exchanges, and improved interoperability between health systems can improve communication and outcomes for all transfer patients but specifically rural transfers. Additionally, healthcare workers, particularly those in rural areas, need adequate infrastructure and financial resources to achieve positive patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51287,"journal":{"name":"Research and Theory for Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141288910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
