| description | The organizational strategy and environment of the healthcare systems influence the turnover rate among healthcare provider personnel. These critical factors have received scant attention in the literature and particularly in the healthcare systems of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) as one low-income country with a lack of infrastructural health provision foundations. In this cross-sectional study with qualitative synthesis, the turnover rate of a population consisting of 115 (85 “74%” rehabilitation and training personnel) members of a daycare center for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during eight years in the city of Erbil was considered. The aim was to understand the organizational strategy and its impacts on the personnel turnover rate, particularly among healthcare providers. The analysis was conducted utilizing collective data over an eight-year period of service provisions. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted to understand the different aspects of turnover among the staff. The finding indicated a general turnover rate of 87% for the entire personnel and 72% for the rehabilitation and training service providers. This rate imposes considerable costs on the system. Interview analysis also yields supporting evidence for the desire of the staff to change jobs and the lack of understanding of the turnover among system authoritarians resulting in unpredictable changes and staff displacement. Further investigations are needed to understand different contributing factors to imposed or desired turnover rates among healthcare providers in KRI. The turnover over the years has imposed different challenges for the center where the data was collected and imposes unwanted negative impacts on healthcare organizations. |
