Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted through a survey on management for retaining nurses in nursing homes for older adults , and although hypothetical, we were able to develop a draft human resource management index by facility directors. Specifically, the study suggested the importance of retention management from five aspects: (1) penetration of organizational philosophy and objectives, (2) skill development and career support, (3) promotion of multidisciplinary cooperation, (4) working conditions and health and safety management, and (5) care management and operational improvement.
