Nivel: "half of health care providers do not think they can receive a pension"

Nivel also reports that less work and fewer paperwork and rules make work in the health sector more attractive. The survey was conducted among 1,573 nurses, caregivers, counselors and practice assistants in the Nursing Group.

Pension

The percentage of health care providers who do not plan to continue working until retirement has increased from 40% to 52% in 2017. Nivel's researcher, Anke de Veer, has said that this increase is probably due to the increase in the age of retirement. "We are also finding that health care providers have been under increasing work pressure in recent years." The study shows that 53% of caregivers experience work under pressure and over 18% consider that work is too busy This is about double that of 2011. "To have enough staff in the future, work pressure measures must be given priority," according to De Veer

Administration

say the least satisfied they are lost for the administrative work. Only 24% think this amount is reasonable and not at the expense of client care. The fact that client care is possible below is reflected in the decreasing satisfaction of caregivers with the quality of care. A large percentage of caregivers therefore want less administration and more independence

Involvement and appreciation

In addition to reducing the workload, less administration and more. independence, 75% of caregivers want more equality among senior managers. 17% of them feel little or no involvement in the organization.

More than three-quarters of caregivers also find that they are kept informed by management of important policy decisions in their organization, but half of caregivers believe that their organization is not or barely aware of their problems. The greatest appreciation of caregivers on the part of clients – 96% of them know a sufficient or strong appreciation.

Management and self-management

44% of caregivers require more support from management. Compared to previous years, satisfaction with the management style is steadily decreasing. Healthcare providers are increasingly indicating that self-management will make the job more attractive – while they want more independence. Self-management and independence do not go hand in hand, according to the research. For more experienced independence, it will be necessary to consider solutions more widely than simply working with self-managed teams.

Satisfaction

Nevertheless, nine in ten caregivers say they appreciate the content of work and almost such a large group. with pleasure at work. The most satisfied are the caregivers about contacts with patients and colleagues.
