Addressing The Nursing Shortage: Strategies For Recruitment And Retention

Abstract

The worldwide demographic shifts have resulted in a consistent rise in the aging population and a decline in the number of deliveries, which have had an influence on medical policies and medical systems in several nations. Both methods need changes in worldwide healthcare. The field of nursing, which has experienced a shortage of personnel, is a critical issue within this particular setting. The article examines specific factors contributing to the shortage of nurses in Poland and other nations, particularly in light of the aging workforce. This study utilizes national applications and strategic papers for nursing. Additionally, it incorporates big data, international reports, and a literature review on nursing and healthcare difficulties. This report asserts that the reasons for the nurse shortage are complex and cannot be attributed to a single global or local factor. The issue may be summarized as a lack of efficient planning and use of nursing resources, inadequate recruiting or a shortage of new personnel, and global demographic factors. The review emphasizes that there is a severe shortage of nurses in healthcare services at the global as well as local levels. The overarching guidelines for the nursing profession include the need of formulating and executing nationwide social security objectives within the scope of nursing services. An ideal program would include broad topics such as enhancing working and job circumstances, establishing procedures to regulate salaries, and offering opportunities for lifelong learning by integrating mobile and technology advancements as a sustainable solution.
