Bakgrund: Svensk sjukvård står inför stora utmaningar de kommande åren med en åldrande befolkning som kommer att kräva allt mer vård. Samtidigt väljer allt fler sjuksköterskor att lämna sitt yrke vilket försämrar vårdkvalitén och riskerar patientsäkerheten, det är därför viktigt att undersöka vilka faktorer som får sjuksköterskor att avsluta eller byta sin anställning. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskor att lämna sitt yrke. Resultat: Ur analysen framkom två kategorier; hinder i organisationen och bristande samarbete på arbetsplatsen med fyra underkategorier. Konklusion: Ogynnsamma arbetsförhållanden som skapar stress leder till ett försämrat psykiskt och fysiskt välbefinnande hos sjuksköterskor. Sjuksköterskor upplever en konflikt mellan tid för arbets- och privatliv, vilket kan vara ett resultat av hög arbetsbelastning, brist på personal, långa och ofta varierande arbetstider. På individnivå finns olika förutsättningar att hantera den påfrestande arbetssituationen och där upplevt bristande stöd från arbetsgivaren kan leda till att sjuksköterskor lämnar sitt arbete. Speciellt utsatta är de nyexaminerade sjuksköterskorna som behöver mycket stöd från medarbetare och chef. / Background: Swedish healthcare is facing major challenges in the coming years with an aging population that will require more and more care. At the same time, more and more nurses choose to leave their profession, which deteriorates the quality of care and risks patient safety. It is therefore important to investigate which factors cause nurses to end or change their employment. Method: A literature review with qualitative and quantitative articles. Aim: To describe factors that influence nurses to quit their profession. Findings: The analysis revealed two categories; obstacles in the organization and lack of cooperation in the workplace with four subcategories. Conclusion: Unfavorable working conditions that create stress lead to a deterioration in the mental and physical well-being of nurses. Nurses experience a conflict between time for work and personal life, which can be a result of high workload, shortage of staff, long and often varying working hours. At the individual level, there are different conditions for dealing with the stressful work situation and where a perceived lack of support from the employer can lead to nurses leaving their jobs. Especially vulnerable are the newly qualified nurses who need a lot of support from co-workers and manager

Homecare work is commonly described as a job involving high workload. Homecare in Sweden is affected by difficulties regarding recruiting and retaining employees. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between workload and the homecare employee's intention to quit their work. Workload is examined based on three dimensions: temporal, physical and relational workload. Result from frequency analysis shows that workload exists in all three dimensions. The physical dimension shows the highest percentage of workload of all three dimensions. Results from multiple logistic regressions shows that eight of nine examined variables increases the odds of homecare employee's intention to quit their work. The only examined variable that does not increase the odds is to feel inadequate regarding the care recipient’s needs. The results indicate, with the help of the effort-reward imbalance model, that there is an imbalance between homecare workers' efforts and rewards. Furthermore, the findings suggest that improvements regarding homecare employees' work situation are needed such as rewarding employees more for their efforts.
