Subject
career path; clinical nurse; evaluation; hospitals
Description
Background: The clinical nurse career path system significantly impacts
nurses’ professional growth, job satisfaction, and service quality. Evaluating
its effectiveness is vital for enhancing human resource management.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the nursing career path in Indonesia,
identifying areas for improvement and development.
Methods: This study used a mixed-methods approach with nine participants
and 339 samples. Surveys targeted clinical nurses, while interviews involved
nursing management. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and
thematic analysis.
Results: Managerial experiences revealed three themes: (1) implementation
of the nurse career path as a mandatory accreditation process, (2) challenges
in the implementation of the nurse career path, and (3) expectations for
career path implementation. The process evaluation pinpointed areas
for improvement, including organizing, internship programs, Continuous
Professional Development (CPD), and career advancement. In product
evaluation, 80.8% of nurses had good perceptions, with a 77% job
satisfaction rate. Analysis showed a positive correlation between perception
and job satisfaction (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: The clinical nurse career path in hospitals requires more
attention, especially in areas such as human resources, which are not yet
full-time, and leadership policies regarding rewards, regulations, and nurse
placement in the implementation of career paths related to organizing,
internship programs, CPD, and career advancement. Enhancing these
aspects is vital for boosting nurses’ job satisfaction and improving service
quality and patient care.
