A Cyclic Model Describing the Process of Sustaining Meaningfulness in Practice: How Nurses Continue Working at One Home Care Agency.
Global Qualitative Nursing Research 2018 January
This study aimed to elucidate the experiences of home care nurses who had continued working a single agency, to gain insight into the prevention of premature turnover. We adopted a grounded theory approach to qualitative exploration of the experiences of 26 Japanese nurses working in a home care agency, using semistructured interviews and participant observation. Nurses' experience progressed through three phases: "encountering difficulty," "enjoying the fruitfulness," and "becoming dissatisfied." Nurses' cognitive rounding involving these phases was conceptualized as "cycle of sustaining meaningfulness." To move from encountering difficulty to enjoying the fruitfulness, nurses needed to discover the meaningfulness of practice, and to move from becoming dissatisfied to encountering difficulty, they needed to requestion their practice. During their time at the agency, nurses progressed through the phases of the cycle of sustaining meaningfulness repeatedly. Knowing the point at which nurses are in the cycle and assisting their further progress could aid in their retention.
