Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop strategies to improve work ability of nurses by using work ability model, especially through the intervention to produce recovery time.
In this action research we collaborated with a top nurse leader and some head nurses of one university hospital to assess the present condition about nurses and their work, draw the vision for magnet hospital and plan some action to improve work ability for example to inform the importance of recovery time, rearrange daily care work, set up special holiday system by each unit. Also we had discussion with researcher who developed work ability model at Finnish Institute of Occupational Health to estimate and develop our intervention.
By these actions, nurses of some units recognize the necessity of recovery time gradually and try to connect the concept of recovery time to daily work. However, nurses of a few units showed no concern to this intervention or refused to discuss about recovery time. There is no significant difference between pre and post work ability of these intervention estimated by Work Ability Index.
In conclusion, we could develop some strategies to produce recovery time and find some idea to improve work ability of nurses from the point of work ability model.
