摘　　要：Objectives:This study aimed to explore the voices of Indonesian migrant nurses on their retention in Japanese healthcare facilities.Methods:A descriptive qualitative study was conducted between June and September 2023.The snowball sampling method was utilized to recruit 22 Indonesian nurses working in healthcare facilities in seven prefectures of Japan.Semi-structured interviews were conducted based on their shared experiences.All interview data were audio-recorded,transcribed verbatim,and analyzed using thematic analysis.Results:Six prominent themes and 15 subthemes emerged:1)organizational factors(caring leader,involvement in decision making,career development,and participation in training);2)social support systems(group support,colleagues support and friend support);3)individual drive(lifelong learning and persistent);4)national policies(government support in public service and flexibility in finding a comfortable placement);5)family factors(positive support of child education and development and maintaining relationship with spouse);and 6)economic factors(staying due to high salary and increasing income streams).Conclusions:Retention of Indonesian migrant nurses in Japan is a multifaceted challenge that hinges on various interconnected factors.This study has gone some way toward enhancing our understanding of international nurse retention in the receiving countries.Corresponding supports at the individual,family,organizational,economic,social,and national policy levels should be considered to keep them in their destination countries.目的探讨印度尼西亚籍护士在日本医疗机构工作的体验。方法采用滚雪球抽样方法,于2023年6月至9月在日本7个县的医疗机构共招募22名印度尼西亚籍护士为访谈对象。基于在日本医疗机构的工作经历,对研究对象进行半结构式访谈。所有访谈资料均被录音,逐字转录,并采用专题分析法进行资料分析。结果共归纳为6个主题与15个副主题:1)组织相关因素(关怀型领导者、共同决策、职业发展与参加培训);2)社会支持系统相关因素(团体支持、同事支持与朋友支持);3)个人动力相关因素(终身学习、坚持不懈);4)国家政策(政府对公共服务的支持与寻找舒适工作的灵活性);5)家庭因素(积极支持子女教育和发展、维持与配偶间的关系);6)经济因素(高薪与广泛的收入来源)。结论印度尼西亚籍护士在日本医疗机构工作时受到多方面挑战,与组织、社会支持、个人、国家政策、家庭与经济因素密切相关。该研究在一定程度上为接收国对国际护士留用的理解以及采取相应干预措施提供了参考依据。
