Abstract
- Background:Health graduates face personal and work-related stressors during the graduate year. The extent to which employers and health graduates have a shared understanding of graduate stressors is unclear but may impact graduate support and transition into the health profession.Aim and design:The aim of this exploratory qualitative study was to identify factors that impact health graduates’ transition and integration into the workplace, comparing the perspectives of health graduates and organisational representatives.Method:Individual and small group semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 medical and 26 nursing graduates and five organisational representatives from a regional health organisation in Victoria, Australia. A thematic analysis was undertaken on the data.Findings:Five main categories were identified: dealing with change, dealing with conflict, workload, taking responsibility and factors that influence performance.Conclusion:Similarities and differences in the perspectives of health graduates and organisational representatives were identified. These findings have implications for current graduate support programs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
