Improving the recruitment and retention of healthcare workers in the continuing care sector is critical to ensuring adequate care for older adults, which was highlighted following the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of prospective registered nurses about working in the continuing care sector and identify workplace attributes that attract prospective nurses to the sector. Methods. A sequential mixed methods study was conducted with nursing students at Ontario Tech University. Focus groups (n\u2009=\u200914) asked students to comment on views about working in the continuing care sector, and job attributes that may attract them to the sector. Focus group data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Subsequently, a cross-sectional survey asked students to respond to elicited choice job scenarios that varied job attributes. The job attributes were shaped by the focus group interview data. To assess respondent\u2019s preferences, the survey data (n\u2009=\u2009139) were analyzed to generate willingness-to-pay (WTP) values for each job attribute. Results. Focus group interviews suggested that fair compensation, optimal client-to-staff ratios, unionized work environments, comprehensive benefits packages, and flexible work arrangements were important job attributes. In survey results, 18.0% expressed interest in working in the continuing care sector compared to 75.5% in acute care. Regression analysis suggested that higher amounts of paid vacation (WTP: \u22125.983; 95% CI: \u221213.749 and \u22120.037) and higher risk of injury (WTP: 0.684; 95% CI: 0.124 and 1.208) were associated with work in the continuing care sector. Impact. Continuing care workplaces can attract nurses by offering flexible options such as part-time positions and paid vacation and by taking actions that can mitigate the risk of workplace injury, violence, and abuse. Nursing students should be shown the positive aspects of working with older adults and dispel negative perceptions about the continuing care sector. Further research is needed to understand the preferences for work and risk perceptions among currently employed nursing staff.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/7187263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,18]],"date-time":"2024-04-18T18:20:09Z","timestamp":1713464409000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Perspectives on Work in the Continuing Care Sector during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed-Method Design"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1319-4655","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lindsay M.","family":"Guest","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Technology University, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0309-0745","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Janet","family":"McCabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Technology University, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chase","family":"O\u2019Halloran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Technology University, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Technology University, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7616-5344","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Winnie","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Technology University, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7564-5829","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"David","family":"Rudoler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Technology University, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada"},{"name":"Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, Whitby, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","volume-title":"Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030","author":"WHO","year":"2016"},{"key":"2","volume-title":"Investing in Education, Jobs and Leadership","author":"State of the World\u2019s Nursing","year":"2020"},{"key":"3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Report of continuing care organization and terminology","author":"M.
