Conclusion

- Identified models include Huber’s Structural Model and the Dual-Driver Model.
- The retention framework focuses on five group factors: organizational and personal characteristics, leadership/management, social systems, and labor market conditions.
Takeaway
This study looks at how to keep nurses and support workers in long-term care jobs by reviewing what has been written about it before.
Methodology
The review used Whittemore and Knafl’s integrative review methodology and thematic analysis to assess literature on retention frameworks.
Limitations
