摘要

退伍军人人口老龄化，中位年龄为65岁，他们的健康状况较差，以及女性退伍军人数量迅速增加，促使退伍军人事务医院提供广泛的护理服务。然而，尽管护士的重要作用和长期护士短缺在VA医院，有很少的研究护士更替的决定因素在VA医疗保健系统。本研究分析了2015年至2017年118家VA医院的注册护士流失率，发现护士流失率受到患者死亡率、工作满意度、年薪水平和可预防住院治疗的显著影响。这些发现表明，退伍军人医院应该保持适当的护士工作量，并实施可以提高护士压力水平和工作满意度的计划。

Why Nurses Are Leaving Veterans Affairs Hospitals?

An aging veteran population with a median age of 65, their inferior health status, and the rapidly growing number of women veterans propel veterans affairs (VA) hospitals to provide a wide range of nursing services. However, despite the significant roles of nurses and chronic nurse shortages in VA hospitals, there has been little research on the determinants of nurse turnover in the VA healthcare system. This study analyzed registered nurse turnover rates at a panel of 118 VA hospitals from 2015 through 2017 and found that nurse turnover is significantly influenced by patient mortality, job satisfaction, annual salary level, and preventable hospitalizations. These findings suggest that VA hospitals should maintain proper nurse workloads and implement programs that can improve nurses’ stress level and job satisfaction.
