[Why all those resignations? An investigation with those nurses and geriatric assistants of the Cantonal Neuropsychiatric Hospital who gave up their activities between 1983 and 1988].
This study has been born out the preposition of a working group of nurses and headnurses belonging to the Regional Sociopsychiatric Organization, who wanted to explore the reasons why several psychiatric and geriatric nurses left the Regional Neuropsychiatric Hospital over the years 1983-1988. Responses were received from 31/55 of these who was possible to locate. The most frequently quoted motivations were mainly linked to the working conditions (scarcity of personnel, professional dissatisfaction, difficulty in practicing the know-how acquired during the training); far less to personal and familiar factors (e.g. new or growing children). More than the twothirds of those interviewed resigned in the course of the first two years of activity. More than the half of them are still working in health-related sectors.
