Abstract

Effective health workforce analysis requires robust data and information. Quality data facilitate monitoring workforce trends, identifying shortages, forecasting employment needs, and planning educational programs. A wide range of federal agencies collect various forms of data, including administrative data, surveys, and censuses, which can be used for health workforce analysis. However, identifying the most appropriate data sources to address a specific nursing workforce issue can be challenging, particularly for newcomers to the field or those researching unfamiliar topics. In this article, we introduce and review 18 federal data sources pertinent to nursing workforce analysis. We categorize the datasets by their associated federal agency, describe each source, discuss their applicability to nursing workforce studies, present examples of past studies that employed these datasets, and highlight their limitations. Our aim is to help researchers, policymakers, and healthcare administrators efficiently locate and leverage relevant data for their analysis.

利用联邦数据源支持护理人员队伍分析。

有效的医务人员队伍分析需要强有力的数据和信息。高质量的数据有助于监测劳动力趋势、确定短缺情况、预测就业需求和规划教育计划。许多联邦机构都会收集各种形式的数据，包括行政数据、调查和人口普查，这些数据可用于卫生劳动力分析。然而，确定最合适的数据来源以解决特定的护理人员问题可能具有挑战性，尤其是对于该领域的新手或研究不熟悉主题的人员而言。在本文中，我们介绍并回顾了与护理人员分析相关的 18 个联邦数据源。我们将这些数据集按其相关的联邦机构进行分类，描述每个数据源，讨论它们对护理人员研究的适用性，介绍过去使用这些数据集进行研究的实例，并强调它们的局限性。我们的目的是帮助研究人员、政策制定者和医疗保健管理者有效地找到并利用相关数据进行分析。

期刊介绍： Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that explores the multiple relationships between nursing and health policy. It serves as a major source of data-based study, policy analysis and discussion on timely, relevant policy issues for nurses in a broad variety of roles and settings, and for others outside of nursing who are interested in nursing-related policy issues.
