BackgroundNurses are essential to the health care delivery system especially to meet the health related millennium development goals. However, despite the significant shortage of nurses in Ethiopia, research in the country regarding nurses’ intent to stay in their profession is lacking. This study assessed intent to stay in the nursing profession and associated factors among nurses working in referral hospitals, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia.MethodsInstitution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 389 nurses from April 8 to May 5, 2013. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the study participants from five referral hospitals. Data were collected using pretested and structured self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were conducted to summarize the sample characteristics. Backward stepwise logistic regression model was fitted and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated to identify associated factors.ResultsThe proportion of nurses who reported intent to stay in the nursing profession was 39.8%. Age 40 to 49 (AOR [95% CI] 4.5 [1.6-12.8]), being married (AOR [95% CI] 2.0 [1.0-3.8]), having a bachelor degree in nursing (AOR [95% CI] 2.2 [1.2-4.1]), satisfaction with: autonomy and professional opportunities (AOR [95% CI] 2.6 [1.2-5.9]), scheduling (AOR [95% CI] 3.4 [1.6-7.5]), and pay and benefits (AOR [95% CI] 8.8 [4.5-17.1]); high continuance commitment (AOR [95% CI] 2.4 [1.3-4.8]) and high normative commitment (AOR [95% CI] 3.7 [1.9-7.2]) were the significant predictors of intent to stay in the nursing profession.ConclusionsIntent to stay in the nursing profession was low among nurses working in Amhara Regional State referral hospitals. Interventions aimed at increasing the professional autonomy of nurses and revising the current salary and other duty payments are vital.

“…Within the interdisciplinary rehabilitation team, rehabilitation nursing is deeply rooted in advanced nursing practices that engage patients in multifaceted intervention. Moreover, rehabilitation nurses help patients process the effect of their illnesses and inspire them on their journey to rehabilitation and holistic well-being (Nathenson, 2012). In designing holistic nursing practices in rehabilitation settings, there is an increasing interest in the mechanism of how the body, mind, and spirit work together to produce a healing effect.…”

aş-boyun kanserleri, sindirim sistemi ve üst solunum yolu mukozalarından kaynaklanan skuamöz hücreli kanserlerdir. Skuamöz hücreli karsinom tüm baş-boyun kanserlerinin %90'ını oluşturmaktadır ve Baş-Boyun Kanserli Hastalarda Rehabilitasyon Hemşireliği Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Baş-boyun kanserlerinin %90'ını oluşturan skuamöz hücreli kanserler daha çok genetik yatkınlığı olan, alkol ve/veya sigara tüketen, 40 yaş üzerindeki erkeklerde görülmektedir. Baş-boyun kanseri tanısı konan bireyler, hastalık ve tedavi ile ilişkili olarak birçok semptomu ayrı ayrı veya bir arada deneyimlemektedir. Bu semptomların başlıcaları; yorgunluk, ağrı, kilo kaybı, iştahsızlık, disfaji, ağız kuruluğu, tükürük salgısında azalma, tat almada değişim ve diş problemleridir. Baş-boyun kanserli hastaların rehabilitasyon programının başlıca konuları; konuşma terapisi, beslenme ve stoma bakımı, çiğneme ve yutma terapisi ile ağrı yönetimidir. Hastaların fonksiyonel ve kozmetik sorunlarla baş edebilmesi için sağlık profesyonellerinin interdisipliner ekip yaklaşımıyla hastayı değerlendirmesi gerekmektedir. Ekip üyelerinden rehabilitasyon hemşiresinin hem bir vaka yöne-ticisi hem de hasta ve ailesinin tedaviye dâhil edilmesi, eğitim (trakeostomi bakımı, evde egzersizlerin yapılması) verilmesi, özbakımı ve öz yeterliliği geliştirme, komplikasyonların önlenmesi ve optimum fonksiyonu sağlama gibi görevleri bulunmaktadır. Baş-boyun kanserli hastalarda rehabilitasyon hemşirelerinin etkin bir şekilde bakıma katılmalarıyla hastaların yaşadıkları semptomların ve yaşam kalitelerinin artacağı düşünülmektedir.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Baş ve boyun neoplazileri; rehabilitasyon; hemşirelik A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Squamous cell cancer, accounting for 90% of head and neck cancers, often occurs in males aged above 40 years with genetic predisposition, alcohol abuse, or smoking. Patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer experience many symptoms individually or in combination related to the disease and treatment. The main symptoms include fatigue, pain, weight loss, lack of appetite, dysphagia, dry mouth, decreased salivation, taste changes, and tooth problems. Speech therapy, nutrition, the maintenance of stoma, chewing and swallowing therapy, and pain management are the major components of the rehabilitation programs for patients with head and neck cancer. Health care professionals must use a interdisciplinary approach for the evaluation on patients to cope with functional and cosmetic problems. As a member of this team, rehabilitation nurses play a major role as case managers and also engage the patient and family into the treatment plan, providing education (tracheostomy maintenance and home exercises), improving self-care capabilities and selfsufficiency, preventing complications, and ensuring an optimum level of functionality. We suggest that the effective engagement of rehabilitation nurses into the treatment is helpful to alleviate symptoms and increase the quality of life of these patients.K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Head and neck neop...
