2023 № 11 Factors affecting the shortage of nursing staff in medical institutions.
The article presents the literature data on the shortage of nursing staff in medical institutions. The characteristic of the base on which the research was conducted is given. The analysis of completing of the nursing staff of the SAHI «Center for the Protection of Motherhood and Childhood» was carried out. It was found that during the three years of the Center’s existence, there was a shortage of secondary medical personnel from 50.0% to 65.0%. The study identified factors affecting the formation of a personnel shortage. The main ones were: dissatisfaction with the management style of the Center (57.2%), a high risk of overstrain and stress when performing functional duties, dissatisfaction with wages that do not correspond to professional loads. The insufficient involvement of young personnel under the age of 30 and the lack of motivation to obtain qualification categories when working in this medical institution had a negative impact on the replenishment and preservation of personnel potential. Based on the results of this study, ways to solve the problem of shortage of nursing staff in the Center have been developed.
