摘要
Addressing staff retention in the UK National Health Service is crucial. This study used interviews to investigate the factors influencing mental health occupational therapists' (MHOTs) decisions to leave or remain in their positions in the UK National Health Service. Framework analysis was employed to analyze the data, focusing on how roles and organizational conditions affect job satisfaction and MHOT retention. The findings highlight that effective strategies should focus on empowering MHOTs with greater autonomy, improving communication with management, and providing high-quality training and supervision. These measures can enhance job satisfaction and retention, thereby improving mental health service delivery.
