The aim of this study was to explore Asian NZNO members’ caregiving responsibilities for family (both children and elders) and the impact of these on their work, their nursing careers and their intention to remain as nurses in New Zealand. A substantial number of New Zealand nurses combine family care-giving responsibilites with work, but little is known about the specific impact of this on Asian nurse workforce planning or retention.
Raised awareness of these issues, combined with support from employers (particularly access to flexible working) and empathy among line managers will be crucial in enabling these nurses to remain in the workforce.
