Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover inten-tions in nurses and find out the key points to reducing turnover intentions by releasing individuals' work-family conflict. Methods Cross-sectional study method was used in this investigation. By using cluster sampling method, 1287 nurses from some top-level and third-class general hospital were investigated. The questionnaire of work-family conflict and turnover intentions scale were used in this research and the re-suits underwent analysis. Results The score of turnover intentions in nurses was positively correlated with the level of their work-family conflict (r=0.233,P<0.01). Stress,behavior and time dimension were related factors of turnover intentions(r=0.243,0.191,0.176,P<0.01 ).After control of demographic factors, the turnover intentions deviation that can be explained increased by 7%. Conclusions The score of work-family conflict is one of the predicators of turnover intentions. A developing measure should be taken to reduce turnover intentions by releasing work-family conflict in nurses.
