The Relationship Between Army CRNA Job Satisfaction and Turnover

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify components of job satisfaction of Army CRNAs and their relationship to turnover. There is a shortage of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in the Army. Presently, only 80% of the allocated CRNA slots are filled. If the annual attrition rate continues to average 25-30 CRNAs, and the Army continues to produce 30-35 CRNAs per year, there will only be an average of 5-10 new CRNAs annually. The ability to perform the peacetime and wartime mission must not be compromised by a shortage of CRNAs. The descriptive/exploratory design utilized demographics and a 57-item questionnaire utilized by Cowan (1995) and Stamps (1997).
