Abstract

The shortage of workers in nursing and a high turnover aroused concern in Europe. The Nurses’ Early Exit
Study (NEXT). Multicenter, intercultural and longitudinal study. Ten European countries participated. The objective was
to observe the relationship between working conditions and nursing workers’ health. Data from 19.099 nursing workers
were analyzed by descriptive analysis and linear regression. The results showed that health and well being of nursing
workers depends on conditions of work. In order to plan interventions that can reduce the “turnover” and disability
among nursing workers in Europe. It is important to consider the process of labor activities for the development of work
until retirement, which may reduce the early work exit, as well as reduce the significant shortage of workers in this area.
