Additionally, the study aimed to identify learning points for future similar scenarios. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods A questionnaire survey of healthcare professionals at three Danish hospitals, June 2020. Results A total of 1,448 healthcare professionals completed the questionnaire. Hereof, 813 (57%) were relocated to new settings/new jobs. The majority experienced that their relocation was totally (49%) or partially (31%) imposed, and 51% reported that the overall experience of the new job function was satisfactory.

Suggestions for future scenarios included training adjusted to individual competencies, more targeted information, voluntariness with consideration of individual needs and clarification of expectations. |
