    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Sociology
    • Workplace Studies

    Background:

    • Nursing faces significant challenges in nurse recruitment and retention.
    • Existing studies indicate the problem is multifaceted and complex, requiring more than wage increases.
    • The impact of domestic responsibilities on female nurses' retention is a critical, often overlooked factor.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the impact of the "second shift" on nurse retention.
    • To emphasize the need for nursing administrators to consider the "second shift" in retention strategies.
    • To integrate sociological concepts, specifically Hochschild's "second shift" theory, into nursing management.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review focusing on nursing retention challenges.
    • Application of Hochschild's (1989) "second shift" research to the nursing profession.
    • Analysis of the relationship between domestic work and paid nursing work for married women.

    Main Results:

    • Wage increases alone are insufficient for retaining nurses.
    • The "second shift"—unpaid domestic labor after paid work—significantly affects female nurses.
    • Ignoring the "second shift" compromises nursing recruitment and retention efforts.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing administrators must account for the "second shift" in developing retention strategies.
    • Recognizing and addressing the "second shift" is vital for supporting the nursing workforce.
    • A holistic approach considering work-life balance is essential for nurse retention.
