Work motivation and occupational self-efficacy belief to continue working among ageing home care nurses: a mixed methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is important to support ageing home care nurses (HCNs) to remain in work for longer, since the need for home care services is increasing. Personal resources such as self-efficacy belief contribute to work ability, as does work motivation. Few studies have targeted the ageing workers' self-efficacy belief to manage their final working years. This study explores ageing HCNs' work motivation, and occupational self-efficacy, i.e. belief in one's capabilities, to continue working until expected retirement age.

Methods

The design of the study is exploratory using a mixed method with a qualitative to quantitative approach. A total of 234 HCNs answered four open-ended questions from a cross-sectional survey, regarding their work motivation and self-efficacy beliefs. Fi
