Background:

The aging nursing workforce presents unique challenges and opportunities for healthcare organizations.
Effective strategies are needed to attract and retain experienced older nurses.
Existing assessment tools may not fully capture the nuances of attracting and retaining this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and validate the Older Worker Lure Scale (OWLS).
To provide a standardized instrument for organizations to measure their effectiveness in attracting and retaining older nurses.
To facilitate research on factors influencing the employment of older nurses.

Main Methods:

Development of the Older Worker Lure Scale (OWLS) based on relevant theoretical frameworks.
Pilot testing and psychometric evaluation of the OWLS.
Application of the OWLS in organizational settings to assess attraction and retention capabilities.

Main Results:

The OWLS demonstrates good reliability and validity for measuring an organization's ability to attract and retain older nurses.
Initial findings indicate variability in organizational lure factors among surveyed healthcare settings.
The scale can differentiate between organizations with varying success in older nurse recruitment and retention.

Conclusions:

The Older Worker Lure Scale is a valuable tool for healthcare organizations aiming to understand and enhance their appeal to older nurses.
Organizations should focus on specific lure factors identified by the OWLS to improve recruitment and retention outcomes.
Further research using the OWLS can inform evidence-based practices for managing an aging nursing workforce.
