Retirement Financial Planning and the RN: An Integrative Literature Review
The Journal of Nursing Administration
|October 2, 2015
Summary
This review highlights critical knowledge gaps in registered nurse (RN) retirement research, focusing on economic impacts, demographics, and workforce sustainability. Further studies are needed to understand and support the nursing workforce.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Workforce Research
- Healthcare Economics
- Gerontology
Background:
- Registered nurse (RN) retirement trends significantly impact healthcare systems.
- Understanding the factors influencing RN retirement is crucial for workforce planning.
- Existing literature presents several critical knowledge gaps regarding RN retirement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct an integrative literature review on current research concerning registered nurse (RN) retirement.
- To identify and analyze critical gaps in the existing body of knowledge on RN retirement.
- To inform future research directions for ensuring RN workforce sustainability.
Main Methods:
- Integrative literature review methodology.
- Systematic search and synthesis of existing research on RN retirement.
- Identification of key themes and knowledge deficits.
Main Results:
- Identified three critical gaps in RN retirement research: economic impact, demographic characteristics, and a scarcity of longitudinal studies.
- Minimal data exists on the economic consequences of RN retirement.
- Incomplete demographic profiles of retiring RNs were noted.
Conclusions:
- Significant knowledge gaps impede a comprehensive understanding of RN retirement.
- Addressing these gaps is essential for developing strategies to ensure the sustainability of the RN workforce.
- Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies and investigate economic and demographic factors of RN retirement.

01:20Actuarial Approach
373
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.

01:23Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
552
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

01:21Planning Nursing Care I
6.4K
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

01:12Relative Risk
2.5K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

01:52Regression Toward the Mean
7.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

01:29Mathematical Modeling: Problem Solving
521
Mathematical modeling transforms real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions, allowing for structured problem-solving and analysis. This process involves defining the situation, assigning variables to measurable quantities, selecting an appropriate model, and solving the resulting equation. Such models are invaluable in finance, providing precise methods to evaluate investments, loans, and repayment structures.A widely used example is the calculation of fixed monthly payments on a loan,...
