Work and health-related determinants of midwives' intention to leave: Nationwide cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies in sweden
Background
Midwives are essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goal on sexual and reproductive health. However, midwifery shortage challenge healthcare organisations globally. The aim was to analyse cross-sectional and prospective associations between independent variables: ‘possibilities of development’; ‘quality of work’; ‘role conflict’; ‘recognition’; ‘self-rated health’ and ‘burnout’ and dependent variables: ‘intention to leave current position’ and ‘intention to quit midwifery’.
Methods
In 2020 a nation-wide web-survey was distributed to midwives in Sweden (n = 5076) listed as members in unions that organise midwives. This was repeated in 2023 (n = 4398 midwives). Cross-sectional (n = 3696) and prospective (n = 531/406) uni- and multivariable logistic regressions were performed.
Results
We found a lower probability of intention to leave current position in respondents who reported possibilities for development, quality of work and recognition while those reporting role conflicts and burnout had a higher probability of intention to leave current position. In the first prospective analysis (n = 531) we found that reporting good quality of work and recognition at baseline were associated with a lower probability of reporting intention to leave current position at follow-up while burnout at baseline was associated with a higher probability of reporting intention to leave current position at follow-up. In the second prospective analysis (n = 406) we excluded respondents who reported intention to leave current position at baseline and found that only quality of work at baseline predicted a low probability of intention to leave at follow-up. For the second dependent variable, intention to quit midwifery, we found that possibilities for development and recognition was associated with a lower probability to quit while burnout was associated with a higher probability. In the first prospective analysis, we found that recognition at baseline was associated with a lower probability to quit while burnout at baseline was associated with a higher probability. When excluding those who reported intention to quit midwifery at baseline, we found that recognition and self-rated health was associated with a lower probability to report intention to quit at follow-up.
Conclusion
Quality of work, recognition and health appeared to be important for retention among midwives. Recognition stands out as a humble but relevant wish from a professional group of great importance for health care.
