“…But also the work-family conflict or work-life imbalances were found to be factors leading physicians' and nurses' to quit their jobs. (Hämmig, 2018;HakemZadeh et al, 2020;Nikkhah-Farkhani and Piotrowski, 2020) The same accounts for perceived poor career perspectives. (Yoder, 1995;Perkins et al, 2007) Working conditions such as income (Kao et al, 2018;Oh et al, 2019), managerial (Nassab, 2008;Domagała et al, 2018) or social support and social climate (Stagnitti et al, 2006;Adriaenssens et al, 2015;Dall'Ora et al, 2020) are influencing physicians' and nurses' job satisfaction as well as good relationships with other colleagues (Stoddard et al, 2001;Sibbald et al, 2003;Domagała et al, 2018;Oh et al, 2019), adequate communication among peers (Sibbald et al, 2003).…”

Job satisfaction has a strong impact on the intention to stay which is an important aspect to counter skills shortage in academic medicine. In an interview study combining qualitative and quantitative methods we investigated how the mental representation of working conditions influences job satisfaction and its impact on the intention to stay. In a first study chief physicians participated in interviews about job satisfaction in academic hospitals. Answers were segmented into statements, ordered by topics and rated according to their valence. In a second study assistant physicians (residents) during and after their training period talked about strength, weaknesses and potential improvements of working conditions. Again, answers were segmented, ordered, rated and used to develop a ‘job satisfaction scale’. In a third study, assistant physicians participated in a computer-led repertory grid procedure composing ‘mental maps’ of job satisfaction factors, filled in the job satisfaction scale and rated if they would recommend work and training in their clinic as well as their intention to stay. Comparing the interview results with recommendation rates and intention to stay show that a negative attitude is linked to high workload and poor career perspectives. A positive attitude towards work environment and high intention to stay are linked to sufficient personnel and technical capacities, reliable duty scheduling and fair salaries. The third study using repertory grids showed that the perception of current teamwork and future developments concerning work environment were the main aspects to improve job satisfaction and the intention to stay. The results of the interview studies were used to develop an array of adaptive improvement measure. The results support prior findings that job dissatisfaction is mostly based on generally known “hygiene factors” and whereas job satisfaction is due to individual aspects.

“…However, prior studies indicated that maintaining a work-life balance or balancing study-related and personal demands were experienced as stressors by student midwives [ 19 , 23 , 24 ]. In addition, studies showed that a lower intention to remain in the study or profession was associated with students’ own work-privacy conflict post clinical placements [ 33 ] as well as observing the challenges of practicing midwives to maintain a work-life balance (caring for clients and own family) [ 34 ]. Furthermore, studies with midwives highlighted a risk for high levels of work-privacy conflict for this profession [ 21 , 68 , 69 ] and thus a potential negative spill-over of stress into non-work life [ 68 ].…”

“…Maintaining a work-life balance or balancing both study-related and personal demands were also identified as stressors in midwifery studies [ 19 , 23 , 24 ]. Among student midwives who had completed a clinical internship, work-privacy conflict was associated with lower intention to stay in the profession [ 33 ]. Students’ intention to stay in the study program was also influenced by observing that practicing midwives faced challenges in maintaining a work-life balance (caring for clients and own family) [ 34 ].…”

Background Student midwives deliver care for women under challenging job demands, which may affect their mental health– thus creating a high need for health promotion. Given the lack of research addressing this topic, the aim of this study is to examine the links between stress perception, coping behaviors, work-privacy conflict, and perception of COVID-19 pandemic impact on studies of student midwives in northern Germany. Methods Data were collected using a cross-sectional online-survey at nine midwifery study sites in northern Germany from October 2022 to January 2023. 342 student midwives (response rate: 61.3%) were surveyed on stress perception, coping behaviors, work-privacy conflict, and perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their studies. Descriptive, linear regression and moderation analyses were run to test explorative assumptions. Results Results revealed that higher levels of perceived stress were reported by 13.4% of student midwives. Social support (M = 13.76, SD = 2.19) and active stress coping (M = 10.72, SD = 2.01) were identified as most prevalent coping behaviors in the present sample. It was found that work-privacy conflict was positively associated with stress perception (ß = 0.53, p =.001) and maladaptive coping behaviors (alcohol and cigarette consumption: ß = 0.14, p =.015), and negatively associated with adaptive coping behaviors (positive thinking: ß = − 0.25, p =.001, social support: ß = − 0.23, p =.001). Students with children reported significantly lower levels of social support than students without children. 55.6% of student midwives perceived a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their studies (mostly on lectures, seminars, and contact with fellow students). Conclusions Key findings highlighted moderate stress levels among student midwives during theoretical study stage. Based on current research, prevalence of high stress levels among student midwives remains unclear. Given the overall heterogeneous, limited research on student midwives’ stress perception, coping behaviors, work-privacy conflict and perceptions of COVID-19 pandemic impact on studies, implications for research are suggested, e.g. longitudinal studies at different time points and settings and interventional studies. Findings provide a starting point for implementation of workplace health promotion in theoretical and practical stages of midwifery science study programs, e.g. training courses on stress prevention and adaptive coping, and for improvement of working conditions.

“…Te willingness of nursing students to remain in the nursing profession after clinical placement needs to be improved. Zadeh et al [9] surveyed midwifery students and found that those who entered clinical practice had signifcantly lower intentions to stay in the midwifery profession than those prior to clinical practice. A study by Chuan [10] showed that nursing students' intention to remain in the profession at the end of their internship was at an intermediate level, with the highest scores for the entry "I would leave nursing if I had other job opportunities."…”

Aims. We aimed to investigate nursing students’ spiritual care competence, perceived professional benefit, and retention intention and to analyze the relationship among these variables. Background. Nurse shortages are a global issue, and intern nursing students’ willingness to remain in the nursing profession is important. Spiritual care can reduce patients’ depression and improve their quality of life. Implementing spiritual care can help individuals have satisfying experiences. Perceived professional benefit is a positive emotional experience that is important in retention intention. However, the relationship among spiritual care competence, perceived professional benefit, and retention intention remains unclear. Methods. In this cross-sectional and correlational study, convenience sampling was used to recruit 266 intern nursing students in 10 hospitals throughout China. An online questionnaire was used to assess their sociodemographic characteristics, spiritual care competence, perceived professional benefit, and retention intention. Statistical analyses included the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and bootstrap analysis. Results. Intern nursing students’ mean scores were 103.35 ± 19.00 for spiritual care competence, 72.88 ± 10.40 for perceived professional benefit, and 19.58 ± 3.37 for retention intention. Spiritual care competence was positively correlated with perceived professional benefit (r = 0.545; p<0.01) and retention intention (r = 0.149; p<0.05). Perceived professional benefit was also positively correlated with retention intention (r = 0.320; p<0.01). Bootstrap analysis showed that perceived professional benefit completely mediates the relationship between spiritual care competence and retention intention. Conclusions. We found that nursing interns had a moderate level of retention intention, and perceived professional benefit was the mediating variable between spiritual care competence and retention intention. Implications. Our study results suggest that nursing administrators and educators should improve nursing interns’ spiritual care competence and perceived professional benefit to enhance their willingness to remain in the nursing profession and alleviate nurse shortages.
