| Popis: | Dette speciale undersøger onboarding af nyuddannede sygeplejersker på Sjælland Universitetshospital. Ved hjælp af et indlejret casestudie har undersøgelsen til formål at kaste lys over sygeplejerskernes arbejde, motivation og psykologiske behov i den første del af deres ansættelse. Endvidere har dette speciale til formål at afdække de nødvendige forudsætninger for en vellykket onboarding og derved øge fastholdelsesraten i afdelingen. Dette speciale opnår dette ved at bruge kvalitative data og en abduktiv og udforskende analysestrategi. Problemstillingen lyder derfor: "Hvilken betydning har onboarding-processen for motivationen og fastholdelsen af tilflyttede sygeplejersker på Sjællands Universitetshospital?"Den teoretiske ramme for dette speciale er baseret på onboarding samt psykologiske behov og arbejdsmotivation i forhold til Bauers onboarding-model, og Deci og Ryans "Self-Determination-theory".Casestudiet fremhæver vigtigheden af en sund kultur og et psykosocialt arbejdsmiljø for motivationen og fastholdelsen af nyansatte sygeplejersker, og især for de nyuddannede. Konklusionen er derfor, at den vellykkede overgang til praksis kræver et velstruktureret og langsigtet onboarding-program.
