The literature is rich with evidence that a nurse's work environment impacts his or her experience of factors related to turnover intent. However, one area of inquiry that has received little attention is the work environment of nursing faculty. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of participants' lived experiences related to work environment quality and it's link with retention; use the knowledge gained to construct a definition of quality work environments from a nursing faculty perspective; and formulate grassroots recommendations that can serve as a stimulant for change within organizations. To achieve these aims, a participatory action research method, photovoice, was employed. Using this framework, nursing faculty were empowered to collect data using photography and construct meaning and recommendations for change.

通过优质的工作环境提高护士系的留任率：一项Photovoice项目。

文献中有大量证据表明护士的工作环境会影响其与离职意图相关的因素。但是，护理学系的工作环境是很少引起关注的研究领域。这项研究的目的是了解参与者与工作环境质量相关的生活经历，并将其与保留联系起来；使用所获得的知识从护理学院的角度构建优质工作环境的定义；并提出可以促进组织内部变革的基层建议。为了实现这些目标，采用了参与式行动研究方法photovoice。使用此框架，护理人员有权使用摄影来收集数据，并为变更构建含义和建议。
