Abstract:
Purpose:: This study aims to identify the factors influencing field adaptation among nurses who have undergone department transfers, by examining the levels of and the relationships between their nursing work environment, interpersonal skills, grit, and field adaptation.
Methods:: The study involved 137 nurses who had experienced at least one department transfer within the last three years across two hospitals. Data analysis was performed using SPSS/WIN 29.0, involving descriptive statistics, means, standard deviations, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé post-hoc tests, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis (enter method).
Results:: Factors affecting field adaptation included the nursing work environment (β=.37, p <.001), interpersonal skills (β=.19, p =.021) and grit (β=.18, p =.025), with a total explanatory power of 31% (F=12.16, p <.001).
Conclusion:: This study contributes insights into effective nursing personnel management, offers foundational data for managing department transfers, and aims to improve the overall quality of nursing care.
