Publisher's Synopsis
The psychological repercussions of retirement on Tunisian nurses were addressed and discussed as part of a study carried out and defended at the Central University of Paramedical Sciences in Tunisia. When it comes to retirement, the subject often attracts little attention, especially when it comes to healthcare personnel. Everyone focuses on civil servants, but nobody really talks about retirees. It's as if this important stage in their lives is often overlooked. It seems that this radical change in working life is not sufficiently discussed. When, in fact, we are often wasting the valuable skills and experience of these civil servants. We found that 54.6% felt helpless immediately after retirement, 49.8% considered their transition to be painful, 44.4% said that retirement had a negative influence on their social and family relationships, and 94.7% said that they had received no training on how to prepare for retirement. Retirees aren't just numbers, they're where we come from, and they deserve more consideration and, above all, gratitude.
