Abstract:
Purpose:This study was done to identify the effect of adversity quotient and reality shock on the turnover intention among new nurses in general hospitals.
Methods:Participants were 158 new nurses in general hospitals. A survey was used and data were collected in April 2019. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0 program.
Results:The significant predictors for the turnover intention of new nurses were training status (β=.38), age (β=.19) and reality shock (β=.51). These variables explained 46.3% of the variance in turnover intention of nurses. Also, reality shock had a total mediating effect on the relationship between adversity quotient and turnover intention.
Conclusion:Findings indicate that adversity quotient and reality shock are important factors for turnover intention of new nurses in general hospitals.
