Abstract

To understand the current status of nursing career planning and explore the influencing factors of the three child policy on the career planning of nurses who have given birth to one child, in order to provide a basis for the management of nursing human resources. Method: Cluster sampling was used to select 515 clinical nurses from a tertiary hospital in Xi'an from August 2021 to September 2022 as the research subjects. A general information questionnaire and a career status evaluation scale were used for the questionnaire survey. The result of the nurse career status evaluation scale was (81.84 ± 15.16) points. There were differences in scores for education level, hospital attributes, job position, nursing years, per capita annual income of the family, whether they had given birth, age of the first child, working time during pregnancy, and planned years of continuing nursing work after giving birth to three children (all P<0.05).The age of the first child and the planned duration of nursing work after giving birth to a third child are the main influencing factors for the career planning of nurses. Conclusion: The three child policy has had a significant impact on the career status of nurses and the allocation of nursing human resources. It is recommended that nursing managers take targeted intervention measures to promote the development of nursing teams.
