“…We know that career choices for Generation Z (those born 1995–2010, so those entering the labour market now) are influenced by wanting to work for organizations that promote healthy practices and healthy working environments, 26 and research has shown the potential ‘fit’ between Generation Z values and caregiving careers. 27 …”

Background High rates of poor mental health in healthcare staff threatens the quality and sustainability of healthcare delivery. Multi-factorial causes include the nature and structure of work. We conducted a critical review of UK NHS (England) data pertaining to: doctors, nurses, midwives and paramedics. Sources of data Key demographic, service architecture (structural features of work) and well-being indicators were identified and reviewed by a stakeholder group. Data searching prioritized NHS whole workforce sources (focusing on hospital and community health services staff), which were rated according to strength of evidence. Findings Key differences between professions were: (i) demographics: gender (nursing and midwifery female-dominated, doctors and paramedics more balanced); age (professions other than doctors had ageing workforces); ethnicity (greater diversity among doctors and nurses); (ii) service architecture: despite net staffing growth, turnover and retention were problematic in all professions; 41.5% doctors were consultants but smaller proportions held high grade/band roles in other professions; salaries were higher for doctors; (iii) well-being: all reported high job stress, particularly midwives and paramedics; sickness absence rates for nurses, midwives and paramedics were three times those of doctors, and presenteeism nearly double. Growing points Sociocultural factors known to increase risk of poor mental health may explain some of the differences reported between professions. These factors and differences in service architecture are vital considerations when designing strategies to improve well-being. Areas timely for developing research Multi-level systems approaches to well-being are required that consider intersectionality and structural differences between professions; together with inter-professional national databases to facilitate monitoring.

The aim of this study is to identify the willingness of generation Z nursing students to work in the specialized units, as well as their views about these units, and to find answers to issues such as which units they want to work in and why. In this study, the phenomenological design of the qualitative research method was used. The purposive sampling technique was preferred in the sample selection of the study. The sample consisted of 16 students who completed their internal medicine nursing course and continued their education in the second year at Adiyaman University Faculty of Health Sciences. A semi-structured 13-item interview form was used as a data collection tool. The content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. Following the analysis, seven sub-themes were obtained. In the study, seven sub-themes were determined including explaining the reasons for specialized units, willingness to work in specialized units, choosing a particular specialized unit, getting support in deciding on the specialized units, the contribution of nursing education to deciding on the specialized units, research for specialized units, and physical opportunities in the specialized units. In accordance with the determined sub-themes, it was concluded that Z-generation nursing students desired to work in specialized units due to their professional development, improved patient care, more economic income, less violence towards healthcare workers in these units, as well as being informed by the lecturers, and sufficient physical opportunities.
