Abstract:
:This study of Canadian community health nurses (N = 1,044) compared the work-related concerns, job satisfaction, and factors influencing the retention of public health, home care, and community care access center (CCAC) nurses. Community health nurses identified similar work-related issues as being of greatest concern to them, but there were significant differences among the 3 groups of nurses in the magnitude of these concerns. There were also significant differences among the 3 groups for satisfaction with their jobs and their immediate supervisors, with CCAC nurses being the least satisfied except for the greater dissatisfaction of home care nurses with their pay and benefits. For the retention factors, the differences were primarily in the areas of job features and supportive work relationships. There are both similarities and differences among public health, home care, and CCAC nurses. Initiatives to address community health nurses' concerns, improve their job satisfaction, and increase their retention will require interventions tailored to the specific community health care setting.
