Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of occupational identification and turnover intention among pediatric nurses in Tai'an,and analyze the correlation between them, and provide theoretical basis for stabilizing the pediatric nursing team. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 442 pediatric nurses from 6 hospitals in Tai'an by means of occupational identity rating scale and turnover intention scale. Results The total score of professional identity was (97.45 ± 16.37) points; there was no very low turnover intention individual; the rate of the relative lower turnover intention was 17.87%(79/442); the rate of relative higher turnover intention was 52.26%(231/442); the rate of the very higher turnover intention was 29.86%(132/442). Career identity and dimensions were negatively related to turnover intention(r=-0.476--0.136,P<0.01). Conclusions Occupational identification of pediatric nurses in Tai'an is at a moderate level and the intention to quit is strong.The higher the occupational identification is,the lower the turnover intention of pediatric nurses in Tai'an, therefore, the nursing managers should pay attention to improve the professional identity of pediatric nurses and lower their turnover intention so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing the pediatric nursing team.
