Nurse turnover is unpredictable, but a new nonlinear model offers a way to forecast turnover. This approach can aid managers in making better decisions for nursing services.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing
  • Systems Dynamics

Background:

  • High nurse turnover incurs significant costs for healthcare organizations.
  • Predicting and managing nurse turnover remains a persistent challenge in healthcare.
  • Existing models often fail to capture the complex dynamics of nurse behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel approach for analyzing nurse turnover attitudes and behaviors.
  • To present a cusp catastrophe nonlinear model for predicting nurse turnover.
  • To enhance managerial decision-making in nursing care delivery systems.

Main Methods:

  • Application of nonlinear dynamics principles to nurse turnover.
  • Development of a cusp catastrophe model to analyze turnover behavior.

  • Utilizing predictive modeling for managerial insights.

    • Main Results:

    • The cusp catastrophe nonlinear model demonstrates potential for predicting nurse turnover.
    • This nonlinear approach offers a more nuanced understanding of turnover dynamics.
    • Managerial decision-making can be improved through better turnover prediction.

    Conclusions:

    • Viewing nursing through the lens of nonlinear dynamics can yield innovative retention strategies.
    • The presented model offers a valuable tool for proactive management of nursing staff.
    • Effective and efficient nursing services can be fostered through advanced predictive modeling.
