Abstract: (543 Views) |
Introduction: Nurses, as the largest group of healthcare professionals, play a crucial role in various situations, including disasters. However, in the chaotic conditions following disasters, nurses may consider leaving their profession, either temporarily or permanently. This can lead to significant and often irreparable consequences for the delivery of essential health services to survivors. This study aims to identify the factors influencing nurses' intention to leave the nursing profession following disasters.
Methods: This narrative review study, covering the period from 2000 to 2024, involved searching databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Sid using keywords such as "nurses," "job turnover," "intention to leave," "job abandonment decision-making," "influencing factors," "disasters," and "epidemics," in both Persian and English. Full-text articles in Persian and English related to the research topic were included. Articles were excluded if the full text was not accessible, if they were presented at conferences, or if they were in languages other than Persian and English.
Results: The review of 25 articles identified factors influencing nurses' intention to leave their profession following disasters, which can be categorized into four groups: individual factors, family-related factors, organizational factors, and the nature of the disaster.
Conclusions: Some factors influencing nurses' intention to leave their profession, such as individual factors like age and factors related to the nature of the disaster, are deeply rooted in societal culture and cannot be quickly resolved. However, family-related and organizational factors can be addressed by modifying existing frameworks.
