Description
Reena Devi and co-authors review what helps attract and keep nurses and frontline care workers in long-term care, in a 2023 study. Care homes face rising demand, high turnover, and few new recruits. Rather than test one fix, the team used a realist method that asks what works, for whom, and under what conditions, drawing on the large existing literature and on stakeholder input.
Eight strategies stood out, from rewarding staff and flexible hours to good induction and career paths. Leadership, caring cultures, teamwork, and adequate staffing made those strategies pay off. The authors say the findings, the first of their kind for this workforce, should travel across countries facing the same shortage.
