Abstract:
Purpose:This study examined hospital nurses’ perception of work-life balance, nursing work environment, nursing organizational culture, and job satisfaction before turnover, and compared differences in variables between current clinical nurses and non-clinical nurses.
Methods:This descriptive study involved 172 nurses with over six months experience, who changed jobs within the last 5 years in G Province. Data were collected from September 5th-22nd, 2022, and analyzed through independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN 25.0 program.
Results:Total work-life balance (t=3.85, p<.001), work-family balance (t=4.79, p<.001), work-leisure balance (t=2.96, p=.004), work-growth balance (t=3.01, p=.003), and overall work-life balance (t=2.95, p=.004) in work-life balance, the role of professionalism (r=2.05, p=.042) and interpersonal relationships (t=2.59, p=.011) in job satisfaction, the relationship-oriented nursing organizational culture (t=2.68, p=.008), and the nurse-doctor relationship within the nursing work environment (t=2.51, p=.013) were all significantly higher among current clinical nurses than non-clinical nurses.
Conclusion:Hospital-level interventions should be established and implemented to improve work-life balance, the relationship-oriented nursing organizational culture, and job satisfaction through interprofessional relationships to retain hospital nurses.
