Improving the distribution of health care services by understanding nurse job choice decisions.
The application of multi-attribute choice models in the field of nursing provides a method for health care administrators to use in coping with the high level of turnover and nurse shortage. By segmenting respondents via multi-attribute model importance characteristics, the problems of reducing turnover and attracting nurses can be approached with greater efficiency and effectiveness. This study found that the use of multi-attribute models for predicting employment, and for segmenting and nurses' attitudes toward hospital employment, can be applied in a meaningful and usable fashion.
