Nursing professions: heavy work is finally recognized - a victory for care!
Österreich - Ingrid Korosec, President of the Austrian Senior Citizens' Association, today welcomed the Federal Government to include nursing professions before the summer. According to OTS , this step is considered significant recognition of the physical and mental requirements, to which nursing staff are exposed to. Korosec describes the decision as an act of appreciation and respect that benefits both the nursing staff and sends a positive signal to society.
The Federal Government thus recognizes the important services of the nursing staff and shows the endeavor to improve their working conditions. In the future, nurses will be able to retire from the age of 60, which should increase the attractiveness of the nursing profession. This is particularly relevant because the need for nurses will increase significantly due to demographic change.
challenges in the nursing profession
The shortage of skilled workers in care has been a well-known problem for years, which is further reinforced by the demographic development, such as the Federal Ministry of Health . Often, nursing professions are not perceived as attractive, and many school leavers rarely decide to take this profession. In addition, trained nurses often look for alternatives, which results in high fluctuation.
In order to increase the attractiveness of the nursing professions, numerous measures are planned as part of the concerted nursing (CAP) campaign. These include the identification and implementation of indicators for better working conditions. The aim is to analyze the causes of leaving the profession and to develop suitable strategies in order to inspire more people for a career in nursing.
urgent need for action
The situation is heading: The Council of Experts for Health and Care indicates that the bottlenecks in the healthcare system are largely homemade. This is particularly worrying because the healthcare system is in the competition for skilled workers with other economic sectors. Even with an increasing number of doctors and nurses, the care situation remains tense, as the ZDF
Christine Vogler from the German Nursing Council calls for prompt and basic reforms to significantly improve working conditions. Many healthcare specialists work part -time, which increases the demand for workers. Despite a high interest in medical training courses, the training capacities for nurses are not fully utilized.
In summary, it turns out that timely reforms in nursing are urgently necessary to ensure future -proof and high -quality care. The new regulations for recognizing the nursing profession as difficult work are a step in the right direction, but further measures are required to increase the attractiveness in the professional field.| Details | |
