Abstract [en]

Across a large part of the world, there is currently a shortage of nurses, this is no exception in Sweden. In this study, we have thus intended to investigate the contributing factors behind the shortage of nurses in Sweden. This purpose has been investigated through a qualitative method, where nine semi-structured interviews have been conducted with licensed nurses who have been in the profession for a maximum of 5 years. The results of the study have been analysed through Herzberg's two-factor theory and Adam's equity theory. The results that came from this study show that nurses choose the profession with an expected return in the form of patient contact, the possibility to make a difference and self-development within the profession. What creates the intention to leave the profession is when the return is smaller and there is no room to establish the return, which is derived from the nurse's context, in the form of, among other things, too high a workload, lack of support and neglected skills. Conclusions of the study show that measures in the form of increased decentralization, increased professionalization of the profession and consideration of individual needs need to be taken to retain more nurses in the profession.

Abstract [sv]

Över en stor del av världen råder det just nu en brist på sjuksköterskor, detta är inget undantag i Sverige. I den här studien har vi därmed ämnat undersöka vilka bidragande faktorer som ligger bakom bristen på sjuksköterskor i Sverige. Detta syfte har undersökts genom en kvalitativ metod, där nio semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med legitimerade sjuksköterskor vilka har varit i yrket i max 5 år. Resultatet av denna studie haranalyserats genom Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori och Adams jämviktsteori. Resultatet som kom av denna studie visar att sjuksköterskor väljer yrket med en förväntad avkastning i form av patientkontakt, att göra skillnad och självutveckling inom professionen. Det som skapar intentionen att lämna professionen är när avkastningen blir mindre och utrymme inte finns för att etablera avkastningen, vilket härleds till sjuksköterskans kontext, i form av, bland annat, för hög arbetsbelastning, brist på stöd samt försummad kompetens. Slutsatser av studien visar att åtgärder i form av ökad decentralisering, en ökad professionalisering av professionen och hänsynstagande till individuella behov behöver tas för att bibehålla sjuksköterskor inom professionen.
