abstract |
In the context of various policy initiatives concerning widening access to and strengthening
recruitment and retention in the health services, cadet schemes – predominantly in
nursing – have proliferated over the last few years. As part of a larger national
evaluation of National Health Service (NHS) cadet schemes, this paper reports on a
survey of senior cadet students across 62 cadet schemes in England and examines their
experience of being a cadet on such a scheme. Cadets forming the most senior cohort
from each of the 62 schemes (n=596) were surveyed using a questionnaire. The questionnaire
included self-rated measures of job satisfaction, job stress and commitment. A 5%
sample of these cadets participated in follow-up telephone interviews. Cadets reported
high satisfaction with their courses. One of the most positive aspects of the schemes
was the first-hand experience of working in the NHS they provided, whilst also giving
cadets the opportunity to gain recognisable skills and qualifications. Cadets scored
highly on the job satisfaction scale and, on the job stress scale, showed low stress
overall. A significant positive correlation was found between satisfaction and stress,
indicating that the cadets who are most satisfied are also more highly stressed. A
negative correlation was found between stress and the dimensions of commitment indicating
that those cadets who are stressed are less committed to the NHS. A negative correlation
was also found between satisfaction and the dimensions of commitment, suggesting that
commitment to the NHS is not contingent on high satisfaction. The implications for
the findings of the survey are discussed. |
