Text
Background and Purpose: The quantitative and qualitative demand for professional nursing in Germany is going to increase [1], [2]. The main reasons for this are demographic changes [3], the age structure of nursing staff [4], and the short retention time of nursing professionals due to high levels of mental and physical stress [5]. A literature analysis indicates a gap between recommended actions and their transfer into practice. The interdisciplinary research cooperation care4care examines the demand for nursing professionals by looking at occupational and organisational structures, companies’ recruiting and personal development practices, and employees’ job decisions in Baden-Württemberg.
Methods and Research Focus: This abstract refers to a care4care sub-project from the University of Applied Sciences Esslingen. A qualitative multi-method approach is used. Ten semi-structured expert interviews have been conducted and analysed using the content analysis method [6]. A Delphi survey and company case studies will follow.
Results and Conclusions: The analysis shows a high awareness for an actual or expected lack of qualified nursing staff. Reasons for the problem and possible solutions differ. Nevertheless, the possibilities of realising ideas and strategies depend on specific constellations, and/or on political and occupational conditions (i.e. regional parameters, company size, or economic pressure). The importance of participation and representation of nursing professionals in decision-making processes appears to be a main topic. The results will be used to define the planned Delphi survey and company case studies.
