| Popis: | Combined, nursing and allied health constitute most of the Australian health workforce; yet, little is known about graduate practice destinations. University Departments of Rural Health have collaborated on the Nursing and Allied Health Graduate Outcomes Tracking to investigate graduate entry into rural practice.Data linkage cohort study.Monash University and the University of Newcastle.Graduates who completed their degree in 2017 across seven disciplines.The outcome variable was Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency principal place of practice data. Explanatory variables included discipline, age, gender, location of origin, and number and duration of rural placements.Of 1130 graduates, 51% were nurses, 81% females, 62% under 21 years at enrolment, 23% of rural origin, 62% had at least one rural student placement, and 23% had over 40 cumulative rural placement days. At the time of their second Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency registration, 18% worked in a 'Rural principal place of practice.' Compared to urban, rural origin graduates had 4.45 times higher odds ratio of 'Rural principal place of practice.' For graduates who had20 cumulative rural placement days, compared to zero the odds ratio of 'Rural principal place of practice' was the same (odds ratio = 1.10). For those who had 20-40 rural placement days, the odds ratio was 1.93, and for40 rural placement days, the odds ratio was 4.54).Rural origin and more rural placement days positively influenced graduate rural practice destinations. Outcomes of cumulative placements days may compare to immersive placements. |
