“…Such patients typically have diminished mobility overall and a diminished capacity to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). There is also a shortage of healthcare professionals, especially physicians, nurses, and therapists, which will likely exacerbate the logistics of providing quality care to the expanding senior patient population (Kane et al, 2009; Siela, Twibell, & Keller, 2008; Wilson, Lewis, & Murray, 2009). Other factors may broaden the gap between the need for quality care and the availability of human healthcare professionals to provide it.…”

“…During staff shortages, nurses not only do their job but also do the work of others resulting in stress, dissatisfaction, and subsequently staff turnover [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Chen SH et al have shown that human resource practitioners’ responsibilities are to identify means of retaining and engaging staff within the system as they are a valuable commodity that is not readily replaced [ 31 ].…”

The battle against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic are still raging in South Africa (SA) despite all the preventive strategies implemented via the five-year strategic plan (2011–2015). The intensity of the AIDS pandemic in SA creates additional challenges for the health workers as they have to deal with an increasing number of people who suffer from this disease. Professional nurses are a critical part of the workforce. The qualitative, explorative, descriptive, and contextual study design was conducted in five public hospitals from each district of Limpopo Province. The purpose of the study was to explore and describe experiences regarding support received by professional nurses while providing care to HIV and AIDS patients in the public hospitals of Limpopo Province. Purposive sampling was employed to select the participants who provided care to HIV and AIDS patients for 24 months or more. The recruitment of participants continued until data saturation was reached at participant number 20. Data were collected through face-to-face individual interviews using a semi-structured guide. Data were analyzed using Tech’s qualitative data analysis method. Trustworthiness was measured through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. Findings: Emotional and physical strain due to a shortage of staff, heavy workload, staff turnover, and high absenteeism were experienced by the nurses fulfilling these tasks. Exhaustion, fatigue, increased levels of stress, and lack of training, counselling, debriefing sessions, recognitions, and reward systems were also experienced. Recommendations: A program for support of all professional nurses providing care to HIV and AIDS patients should be conceptualized and implemented.

“…Several factors make nurse turnover a critical issue. First, there is a shortage of nurses in the United States (Auerback, Beurhaus, & Staiger, 2007;Siela, Twibell, & Keller, 2008). Second, this shortage is expected to increase as Baby Boomers retire and nursing schools fail to graduate enough nurses to meet even current demands (Atencio, Cohen, & Gorenberg, 2003).…”

The current study examined the use of biographical data to predict errors, tardiness, policy violations, overall job performance, and turnover among nurses. The results of the study indicate that biodata measures are valid selection devices for nurses and effective at predicting nurse errors, tardiness, policy violations, and overall job performance, but the instrument was not an effective predictor of turnover, voluntary or involuntary. Additionally, examination of group differences revealed that White subjects scored significantly higher on the biodata instrument compared to Black subjects but produced group differences considerably smaller than typically found with measures of cognitive ability. Future research directions and implications for practice are discussed.
