Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that influence female inactive nurses' return to work with a focus on lifestyle. Multiple regression analysis was conducted using a stepwise method with professional identity as the dependent variable, which was considered to influence professional continuity by female inactive nurses and returning nurses. For female inactive nurses, the standard regression coefficient from total pleasant working environment, age, and purpose of working to occupational identity was significant at the 0.1% level, with an R2 of 0.34. For female returning nurses, the standard regression coefficient from pleasant working environment total score and years of experience to professional identity was significant at the 0.1% level, with an R2 of 0.31.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、復職に影響する要因を明らかにすることで、看護師の人材確保に貢献できると考えた。さらに、潜在看護師への調査研究のみではなく、すでに復職している看護師への調査研究を並行して行うことで両者を比較することができ、現在行われている復職支援に役立てることが出来る。しかしながら、コロナ禍の影響もあり調査が滞り、職業的アイデンティティへの影響要因は捉えることができたが、復職に影響する要因までは明らかにできなかった。
