Abstract
Effective retention strategies are essential for the sustainability of district nursing services. To develop tailored retention strategies, the authors of this article examine what makes district nursing different compared to hospital and other care settings. Based on literature reviews and discussion groups, the authors identify five key characteristics of district nursing. This article invites expert district nurses to review these characteristics and provide feedback. By clearly identifying the distinctiveness of district nursing, the authors aim to strengthen retention strategies and explore other potential benefits for services.
