Although nurses generally constitute the largest component of the health workforce, there is no systematic collection of data about their health status. Similarly, little is known about how nurses manage any long-term condition (LTCs) they may have, which could contribute to their reducing hours of employment or leaving the workforce completely. Such information will become more important against the backdrop of a global shortage of nurses, an ageing nursing workforce and an increase in chronic disease.
This presentation will provide an overview of a collaborative research study undertaken at the Townsville Hospital and Health Service, which explored the reported LTCs of nurses and midwives across the organization.
