Factors affecting retention of occupational therapists in adult mental health service: A systematic review with narrative synthesis

Introduction: There are over 43,000 occupational therapists across the United Kingdom, with mental health occupational therapists being acknowledged as a main workforce of OT services. However, staff shortages are occurring, and urgent action is needed to retain this important workforce. Methods: The systematic literature search was conducted in the CINAHL, PsycINFO and Scopus databases to identify research literature published since 2008. Due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, a narrative synthesis was utilized. Results: A total of 20 studies (21 papers) were included in the review. Five thematic factors – well-being at work, organizational work environment factors, job resources, supervision and staffing, along with various subtheme factors emerged from the synthesis. The findings suggest that retaining mental health occupational therapists is a complex issue, affected by many factors. The study emphasizes the triangular relationship among three aspects of well-being (job satisfaction, professional identity and burnout) at work and introduces the concept of a ’Retention Ecosystem’. This illustrates how subtheme factors interconnect and influence the retention of mental health occupational therapists. Conclusion: The retention of mental health occupational therapists is revealed to be a multifaceted challenge. There is a need for developing more targeted, meaningful and holistic strategies for retaining the current mental health occupational therapist workforce.

Motivation and retention of outsourced employees

ABSTRACT A food service supplier is experiencing that, in their distribution centres, within 30 days, an average of 48% of the outsourced employees resign, which impacts profitability, productivity and service quality. This study investigates which factors of the Herzberg two-factor motivation theory contribute to the retention of outsourced employees of a food service supplier and whether there is a difference between eastern or southern European employees. A total of 299 outsourced employees of the food service suppliers at four out of nine distribution centres filled out a 15-item survey, including questions on the various aspects of the Herzberg motivation theory, and their intention to stay with the company. Results show that extrinsic motivation factors play a more significant role in the retention of outsourced employees in comparison to the intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors significantly correlated with retention are policies and administration, work conditions, supervision and interpersonal relations. Intrinsic factors significantly correlated with retention are advancement, the work itself and achievement. No significant relationship was found between the salary factor and employee retention. Although results showed that southern Europeans tend to stay longer with the company in comparison to eastern Europeans, no significant differences were observed regarding the impact of motivation and hygiene factors between the two sub-groups. To enhance retention, the food service supplier is advised to provide sufficient growth and development opportunities, assign important responsibilities and acknowledge accomplishments. Furthermore, the company must assess, track and oversee all relevant extrinsic and intrinsic motivation factors to connect the outsourced employees with the company for a longer term.

Constructing psychometric measurement of a past supervised experience scale with educational roles to investigate the relationship between being instructed, being supported, and being supervised for attending physicians in teaching hospitals – a questionnaire survey

ABSTRACT Purpose Although school-based planned education has steadily been introduced, master-apprentice learning is still an indispensable part of medical education. All medical clinical teachers begin their careers as medical students, often without knowing exactly how they will learn to teach. Kilminster and Jolly identified three primary functions of clinical supervisors including clinical teaching, support and guidance, and work supervision. Therefore, we designed a study using questionnaires to assess the three factors of clinical educators for past supervised experiences, including ‘being instructed,’ ‘being supported,’ and ‘being supervised,’ based on Kilminster and Jolly’s illustration in 2000, to see the relationship between the three factors mentioned above. Materials and Methods The study started with a literature review to construct the essential items regarding past supervised experiences of physicians as clinical teachers. We invited 10 experts from fields including medical education and experienced clinical teachers to assess the content validity. One hundred physicians in teaching hospitals were sampled for the preliminary test. Another 364 physicians in teaching hospitals were sampled for the formal study of confirmatory factor analysis and pathway analysis. Results The” Past Supervised Experiences with Educational Roles Scale” showed satisfying reliability with all Cronbach’s α values exceeding .80, and three factors from supervised experiences were identified, including ‘being supported,’ ‘being instructed,’ and ‘being supervised.’ In our model, the ‘being supported’ experience could positively affect ‘being supervised’ with significance, directly and indirectly, by being instructed. Conclusions Our study developed a validated instrument that allows investigation of the formation of better-supervised experiences from current physicians. Our findings inspired us to focus more on supportive coaching in teaching and supervising medical trainees. Our study indicated that faculty development for skills of supporting students is crucial to effective clinical teaching and supervision.

Superwizja w edukacji: nowy model wsparcia i rozwoju zawodowego nauczycieli

Introduction: Supervision appears relatively infrequently in the school environment and still functions as an innovative practice. Consequently, with the steadily increasing number of students with specific educational and developmental needs, teachers have faced new challenges and had to redefine existing ones. This has led to a growing interest in educational supervision as a new form of support and professional and personal development for teachers. This article presents basic information about supervision and the conditions for its incorporation into the teacher's work system. Research Aim: This article introduces discussions on supervision in education, taking on a review character and relying on theoretical analyses and research findings available in the literature. Over the past fifteen years (2008-2023), numerous interesting publications on teacher supervision can be found, emphasizing the significance of this issue. Evidence–based Facts: Introducing supervision into schools is a time-consuming process that requires meeting specific conditions, including the substantive preparation of teachers to utilize this form of support. Modern teachers face complex tasks that exceed their capabilities, necessitating a team of specialists and engaging in reflective analysis of their professional experiences. Summary: The implementation of teacher support in schools requires legal, organizational, and theoretical changes. This approach is becoming increasingly popular as a way to address growing educational difficulties. It is worth noting that social work supervision came before educational supervision, and this topic is increasingly being discussed in various scientific publications. These publications serve as a valuable source of inspiration for implementing supervision in schools and educational institutions.
