How does a mobile nursing app play a role in job retention of nurses?

A mobile nursing app (mNurse) applied to the daily nursing records and drug administration has been implemented in several regional hospitals located in Taiwan. A total of 75 nurses from four different units participated in this study. The mNurse app has integrated the functions of patient identification with QRcode, taking photos for nurse recording, the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Nurse Information System (NIS). A multiple regression model was generated to predict the correlation of mNurse’s performance and the willingness score of job retention. The model had revealed a significant impact of the mNurse’s performance to the job retention of nurses. The R2 was 0.9748. A larger scale of study may be warranted in the future.
