Abstract

Objective: In order to support policy planning, nurses in Queensland were surveyed three times over a seven year period. Results from the study offered the opportunity to explore changes in work practices with respect to career breaks and retirement intentions.
Design: A self administered postal survey.
Setting: Nurse members of the Queensland Nurses Union residing in the State of Queensland.
Participants: 3,000 members of the Queensland Nurses’ Union.
Main outcome measures: An overview of nurses’ work practices in relation to breaks in work and planned retirement.
Results: Response rates for 2001, 2004 and 2007 were 51%, 44.9% and 39.7%, respectively. Over the seven year study period the number of nurses taking career breaks declined from 65% in 2001 to 54% in 2007. Of those nurses who reported taking breaks the number of breaks remained constant; however the average length of the breaks declined. Results reflected an ageing workforce. The expected time to remain in nursing increased dramatically for older nurses. Over 60% of 40-60 year old nurses in 2007 expect to remain in nursing well into their mid-60’s compared to 30% in the previous years.
Conclusions: The dynamics of the nursing workforce have changed with nurses taking fewer and shorter breaks and expecting to work to a greater age. We speculate that these changes may be influenced by the economic climate.
