Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing emergency department (ED) nurses' turnover intention. METHODS: The study was conducted with 241 nurses from ED of 20 general hospitals in Busan. The survey data were collected from May 1 to July 31, 2010 and were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS Win 17.0 program. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences in turnover intention depending on age, regular change in department, and nursing experiences. A significant positive correlation was found between job stress and turnover intention and a significant negative correlation between organizational commitment and turnover intention. The significant factors influencing turnover intention were regular change in department, job stress, and organizational commitment, which explained about 13.7% of the variance. CONCLUSION: Considering this results, nursing managers should analyze these main factors which affect turnover intention and create ways to decrease turnover intentions, and thus decrease high turnover intention.
