Nursing strike, America, 2019: Concept analysis to guide practice
1Kaiser Permanente.
Background:
In 2018 a nursing 'sympathy strike' occurred. Although unionized nurses were directed to participate, many expressed questions about what a strike or sympathy strike was. Literature revealed no seminal article to define the term. A concept analysis for the nursing workforce was created.
Method:
The Hybrid Method of Concept Analysis, (theoretical literature analysis, qualitative stakeholder interviews; applicability) was used. 33 articles and 7 books were reviewed. Nine interviews took place.
Results:
The literature and interviews agreed on the definition, antecedents, and consequences of a nursing strike. Strikes in the United States were defined as "a last resort effort, after significant bargaining on the issue between nurses and management has not allowed for agreement, where a work stoppage occurs and nurses leave the bedside." Interviews alone introduced the concept of duty to patients. A model case, contrary case and borderline case are offered.
Conclusion:
This study contains recommendations for practice.
