Observational analysis of shift work strategies affecting turnover rates in healthcare workers, indicating the need for improved planning.
Introduction: Hight turnover in the nursing workforce, associated with a global shortage of personnel, poses significant challenges to the healthcare system and quality of care. To address this, we designed an interactive tool to social and health care organizations. The tool provides feedback based on FIOH Working Time Traffic Light (WTTL) recommendations, enabling units to assess the used shift planning strategies and to implement ergonomic shift planning to improve health and wellbeing. This study aimed to investigate how longitudinal changes in the working hour characteristics and shift planning strategies in the interactive tool were associated with annual changes in turnover.
