Associations between paramedics' salutogenic health experience and the intention to stay in the profession: A cross-sectional survey.
Nursing Open 2024 March
AIM: To investigate the association between paramedics' salutogenic health and their intentions to stay in their profession.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey.
METHODS: Paramedics from eight purposively selected organizations participated in this study (n = 433). The data were collected in 2022 with the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale and validated single questions that assessed work ability, recovery and self-rated stress. Intention to stay was measured using two questions about the intention to leave prehospital emergency medical service work and leave the nursing sector completely during the next 2 years. Data were analysed using logistic regression and statistical significance tests.
RESULTS: Men had higher mean salutogenic health scores than women. No significant differences in salutogenic health were observed across work experience or occupational groups. Paramedics intending to stay in their profession exhibited higher salutogenic health scores than those intending to leave. In the logistic regression models, increasing levels of salutogenic health and work ability were associated with intention to stay in the profession.
