Those who stay: a phenomenological exploration of staying as experienced by social workers in northern communities

Summary

Abstract	Abstract This thesis examines the reasons why it is difficult to recruit and retain social workers for Northern British Columbia communities. Interviews with social workers who have stayed 5 or or more years are examined in order to determine why these people have stayed for longer periods of time. In general, professional, personal, community and integrated life factors are studied.
