Description
Why palliative care nurses stay is explored by Zongwen Yi's team in a 2026 qualitative study. Fifteen nurses gave semi-structured interviews of 20 to 52 minutes, grouped by theme under a job demands and resources framework.
Demands dragging retention down included constant nearness to death, heavy emotional labor, ethically tangled talks, and physical strain. Staying was powered by team cohesion, workplace recognition, a felt sense of the work's value, plus personal mission, resilience, and hard-won peace with death. With palliative nursing in severe shortage worldwide, the balance of drains and supports offers ward heads a useful retention map.
