Purpose
This study investigated the effects of newly graduated nurses’ perceived readiness for nursing practice, resilience, and preceptors’ teaching behaviors on turnover intention.
Methods
A survey was conducted among 168 newly graduated nurses between August 7 and 31, 2023. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Results
The factors that significantly affected turnover intention included preceptors' teaching behavior (β=-.29, p=.001) and resilience (β=-.21, p=.026). This model explained 32.0% of the variance.
Conclusion
Newly graduated nurses’ resilience and their initial training environment are key factors influencing turnover intention. Therefore, nursing managers should develop strategies to enhance the resilience of newly graduated nurses and improve training systems. Additionally, efforts should be made to promote positive teaching behaviors among the educators responsible for training newly graduated nurses.

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between socio-cognitive mindfulness, job stress, social support, and turnover intention among general hospital nurses and identify the factors influencing nurses’ turnover intention.
Methods
A descriptive survey was conducted among 218 nurses from five general hospitals located in G metropolitan city. The participants completed a questionnaire measuring the study variables, and the data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis in SPSS/WIN 28.0.
Results
Significant differences were found in turnover intention by gender (t=-2.12, p=.036), family type (t=-3.09, p=.002), work department (F=7.01, p<.001), and work type (t=2.55, p=.011). Socio-cognitive mindfulness was positively related to social support (r=.331, p<.001), and turnover intention was positively related to job stress (r=.347, p<.001). The factors influencing nurses’ turnover intention included job stress (β=.317, p<.001), work department (artificial kidney room: β=-.287, p=.004; emergency room: β=-.219, p=.015), social support (β=-.183, p=.005), and work type (shift work: β=.170, p=.036), respectively. These factors explained 23.4% of the variance.
Conclusion
The findings indicate the need to develop programs to effectively cope with job stress and implement mentoring systems or psychological support programs to reduce turnover intention among nurses at the organizational level.

Purpose
This study aimed to confirm the mediating effects of transition shock on the relationships among grit, social support, and retention intention of new graduate nurses.
Methods
A total of 174 new graduate nurses were recruited from a university hospital and a general hospital. The data were collected between November and December 2022 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Baron and Kenny’s three-step regression analysis, and the PROCESS Macro Model 4.
Results
Nurses’ retention intention was positively correlated with grit (r=.56, p<.001) and social support (r=.48, p<.001) and negatively correlated with transition shock (r=-.56, p<.001). The mediating analysis revealed that transition shock mediated the relationship between grit and retention intention as well as between social support and retention intention.
Conclusion
Based on the findings, an intervention program should be developed to reduce transition shock in new graduate nurses to increase their intention of retention.

Purpose
The study aims to confirm the mediating effect of nursing professional pride in the relationship between nursing practice environment, nursing performance, and retention intention.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 13 to 31, 2021, involving 127 nurses. The following statistical analysis was conducted: t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, and Hayes Process Macro Model 4 (to test the mediating effect).
Results
Nursing practice environment showed a significant positive correlation with nursing performance, retention intention, and nursing professional pride. Nursing practice performance showed a positive correlation with retention intention and nursing professional pride, and retention intention showed a significant positive correlation with nursing professional pride. The mediating effect of nursing professional pride was found in the effect of nurses' nursing practice environment on their retention intention. In addition, the mediating effect of nursing professional pride was found in the effect of nurses' nursing practice performance on their retention intention.
Conclusion
Through this study, it was confirmed that nursing professional pride is a major A factor affecting retention intention in the hospital. Therefore, in order to increase nurses' retention intention to remain in Hospital, the basis of basic data was presented for strategy development.

Purpose

Methods
Participants included 191 nurses working in general hospitals. Data were collected from July 11 to 18, 2023 and analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0.
Results
Factors Influencing retention intention were clinical experience in the present department (β=.22, t=3.20, p=.002), moral distress (β=-.22, t=-3.15, p=.002) and ethical nursing competence (β=.26, t=3.82, p<.001). These variables accounted for 19.7% of nurses' retention intentions.
Conclusion
Based on our findings, it is necessary to identify interventions aimed at alleviating moral distress, and establish and implement systematic programs to improve ethical nursing competence in order to increase the retention intention of nurses.

Purpose
This study examined the impact of professional Quality of life (QoL) on turnover intention among general hospital nurses using linear and nonlinear analytical techniques.
Methods
Data were collected from 159 general hospital nurses and analyzed using SPSS, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression, and nonlinear machine learning models (Bootstrap Forest and Boosted Tree).
Results
Significant correlations were observed between turnover intention and both compassion satisfaction (r=-.26, p<.001) and burnout (r=.27, p=.001). Compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue were identified as the key variables influencing turnover intention. The explanatory power of multiple linear regression analysis was 6.9%, whereas the nonlinear machine learning models demonstrated an explanatory power of 50.5% for Bootstrap Forest and 45.1% for Boosted Tree.
Conclusion
Continuous investment in human resource management, within nursing organizations, is essential to promote the long-term retention of general hospital nurses. This investment should focus on enhancing compassion satisfaction and reducing burnout and compassion fatigue by fostering a sense of vocation and positive job satisfaction.

Purpose

Method
A total of 187 clinical nurses from a general hospital in Seoul were considered for this study. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 24.0, which included descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), multiple regression analysis, and Scheffé’s test.
Results
Political interest (β=.46, p<.001), nursing professionalism (β=.17, p=.007), manager or higher (β=.19, p=.018), and age under 24 years of age (β=.14, p=.038) were all statistically significant predictors of political participation. The explanatory power of these factors was 35.6% (R 2 =.39, Adj. R 2 =.36).
Conclusion
This study revealed the relationship between nursing professionalism and intention to participate in politics, which has not been previously investigated in clinical nurses. This study is significant as it suggests the necessity and direction of future nursing professionalism education programs.

Purpose
This study aimed to explore the influence of teamwork and grit on job adaptation and intention to remain among advanced beginner nurses.
Methods
A cross-sectional descriptive research design employing a survey method was used. The study involved 203 advanced beginner nurses with 13~36 months of experience working at a tertiary hospital. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis.
Results
Job adaptation positively correlated with teamwork (r=.58, p<.001) and grit (r=.65, p<.001). Intention to remain was also positively correlated with teamwork (r=.32, p<.001) and grit (r=.59, p<.001). A hierarchical multiple regression model including control variables, teamwork, and grit accounted for 64% of the factors influencing job adaptation. Another hierarchical multiple regression model, incorporating control variables, teamwork, and grit, explained 44% of the factors influencing the intention to remain. Among the related factors, grit emerged as the most influential in regarding job adaption and intention to remain.
Conclusion
These findings underscore the importance of establishing a support system to bolster grit, enhancing adaptation to the job and fostering intention to remain among advanced beginner nurses.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the influential factors on retention intention among nurses in small-medium sized hospitals.
Methods
This study was conducted with 185 nurses of 6 small-medium sized general hospitals located in B metropolitan city. Data were collected from July 10 to July 19, 2022 using on-line self-report questionnaires. A descriptive analysis and hierarchical multiple regression were used for data analysis utilizing IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 25.0.
Results
The variables influencing the retention intention of the subjects were perceived value of work (β=.36, p<.001), nurse manager ability, leadership, and support of nurses (β=.22, p=.024), positive psychological capital (β=.15, p=.042), and subjective health status (β=.14, p=.035), and the total explanatory power (R² ) of these variables was 38.0% (F=12.24, p<.001).
Conclusion
Based on the results, in order to increase the retention intention for nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals, it is necessary to create an environment and culture as well as educational strategies for fostering a sense of work value and positive psychological capital. In addition, proactive organizational efforts are required to strengthen nurses’ subjective health and nurse managers’ supporting capabilities and leadership in small-medium sized hospitals.

Purpose
This study used a structural model to identify organizational characteristics, such as work environment, nursing organizational culture, and manager leadership of general hospital nurses, and to examine the effect of organizational characteristics on turnover intention through organizational silence.
Methods
Data were collected from July 1, 2017 to August 30, 2017, using structured questionnaires. Participants were nurses in general hospitals with more than 250 beds and less than 500 beds in Busan City and Gyeongsangnam Province. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0.
Results
The nursing work environment, external employment opportunities, relationship-oriented culture, and acquiescent and defensive silence directly impacted turnover intention. Additionally, the nursing work environment and external employment opportunities indirectly affected turnover intention through acquiescent silence.
Conclusion
To lower general hospital nurses’ turnover intention, the external environment should be reviewed and continuously compared to provide a better internal nursing work environment. In addition, it is necessary to find a way to lower the acquiescent silence, which can negatively affect the organization, by creating a relationship-oriented culture that emphasizes the relationship between members.

Purpose
Turnover rates among nurses in South Korea are higher than those of other job groups, affecting hospital performance. This study clarified the mediating role of perceived organizational and supervisor support in the relationship between nurses’ organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention.
Methods
This study involved a descriptive survey of 160 nurses working in two hospitals in S, South Korea. Data were analyzed using the Hayes PROCESS macro (Model 4) program, version 3.4.
Results
Organizational citizenship behavior was positively correlated with perceived organizational support and perceived supervisor support but negatively correlated with turnover intention. Perceived organizational support was positively correlated with perceived supervisor support. Additionally, perceived organizational and supervisor support were negatively correlated with turnover intention. The authors verified the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention. However, the mediating role of perceived supervisor support was not confirmed.
Conclusion
The higher a nurse’s organizational citizenship behavior, the higher their perceived organizational support, which reduces turnover intention. High-quality nursing contributes to organizational performance; therefore, the nursing workforce should be carefully preserved.

Purpose
This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing nurses’ intention to stay after coming back from parental leave.
Methods
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The participants were 175 female nurses working in hospitals with over 300 beds and returning after three months of parental leave. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results
There were significant differences in intention to stay by age (t=2.65, p<.001) and position (t=-2.23, p=.027). Intention to stay was positively correlated with social support (r=.24, p<.001) and self-efficacy (r=.42, p<.001), and negatively correlated with work-family balance conflict (r=-.21, p=.004). Factors influencing intention to stay were self-efficacy (β=.94, p<.001) and work-family balance conflict (β=-.49, p=.005), with an explanatory power of 20%.
Conclusion
The findings allow for proposing that increasing nurses’ intention to stay may require self-efficacy improvements to enable nurses to adjust to their work environment, and hospitals should provide nurses with institutional support in order to reduce nurses’ work-family conflicts.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to establish a structural model explaining the factors affecting advanced beginner-stage nurses' intention to continue employment. This model was designed to provide basic data for improving the intention to continue employment among advanced beginner-stage nurses and to efficiently manage nurses as human resources.
Methods
In order to construct a hypothetical model, latent factors affecting nurses' intention to continue employment were identified through systematic review and meta-analysis. As a result of systematic review, hypothetical model was constructed with nursing professionalism, calling, work environment, positive psychological capital, and job satisfaction. Structural equation modeling was then conducted through SPSS 25.0, AMOS 22.0, and Mplus 6.12 statistics programs.
Results
First, none of the pathways affected by nursing professionalism were statistically significant. Second, the final structural model showed fit very well based on the fit indices RMSEA=.062, SRMR=.052, RMR=.048, CFI=0.95, and TLI=0.94.
Conclusion
This study’s results identified that job satisfaction, calling, work environment, and positive psychological capital affected advanced beginner-stage nurses' intention to continue employment. Among these, job satisfaction was the most powerful variable influencing the decision to continue employment for advanced beginner-stage nurses.

Purpose
This study investigated the effects of nursing unit managers' authentic, transformational, and transactional leadership styles on positive psychological capital and turnover intention in advanced beginner-stage nurses (ABNs).
Methods
The study included 157 nurses with clinical experience ranging form more than one year to less than 3 years in three general hospitals. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS/WINdows software version 26.0.
Results
Authentic, transformational, and transactional leadership styles of nursing unit managers increased the positive psychological capital of ABNs, thereby lowering their turnover intention. Additionally, the turnover intention of ABNs was negatively correlated with the authentic, transformational, and transactional leadership styles of a nursing unit manager and positive psychological capital. Positive psychological capital showed a mediating effect in the relationship between authentic, transformational, and transactional leadership styles of nursing unit manager and turnover intention of ABNs.
Conclusion
To reduce ABNs turnover, medical institutions and nursing organizations should focus on enhancing nursing unit managers’ transformational and authentic leadership styles. Moreover, as transactional leadership has been found to decrease the turnover intention among ABNs, nursing unit managers should carefully consider their responsibilities and resources allocation to provide conditional compensation support to nurses.

Purpose
This study aimed to assess the influence of job embeddedness, professional self-concept, and work-life balance on clinical nurses’ workplace retention intention.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from July 27 to August 2, 2022, involving 296 nurses at a university hospital in Seoul. The questionnaire-based data collected were analyzed using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.
Results
The mean score for intention to stay is 4.92±1.05 out of 8. The mean scores for job embeddedness, professional self-concept, and work-life balance were 2.91±0.48 out of 5, 2.61±0.28 out of 4, and 3.10±0.71 out of 5, respectively. Job embeddedness (β=.17, p=.002) and professional self-concept (β=.42, p<.001) were significantly associated with clinical nurses’ intention to stay in their workplace. Specifically, the “community suitability” subfactor of job embeddedness (β=.16, p=.003) and the “satisfaction” subfactor of professional self-concept (β=.58, p<.001) were significantly related to nurses’ intention to stay. No significant relationship was found between work-life balance and intention to stay.
Conclusion
Nurses’ job embeddedness and professional self-concept significantly affected their intention to stay. Therefore, fostering community bonding outside the organization and increasing professional satisfaction are suggested to increase clinical nurses’ intentions to stay.

Purpose
This study is a hypothetical model of the effect of the leader-member exchange relationship on psychological ownership, job engagement, and turnover intention.
Methods
Data collection was conducted for general nurses who have worked for at least 6 months in a university hospital. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0, and AMOS 18.0 program was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis as well as goodness of fit verification and hypothesis testing for the hypothetical model.
Results
The leader-member exchange had a significant, static effect on psychological ownership. The leader-member exchange relationship did not have a significant effect on job engagement and psychological ownership had a significant, static effect on job engagement. The leader-member exchange relationship did not have a significant effect on turnover intention and psychological ownership and job engagement had significant, negative effects on turnover intention.
Conclusion
Intervention and the development of programs to increase the psychological ownership and job engagement of members are proposed to improve the leader-member exchange relationship through leadership education and training and reduce the turnover intention of nurses.

Purpose
This study aims to identify the factors-along the lines of fatigue, nursing professionalism, and the work environment-that affect the nursing of COVID-19 patients by nurses at a designated COVID-19 hospital in Korea.
Methods
Data were collected from March 7 to March 31, 2022 via structured questionnaires submitted by 162 nurses, and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis.
Results
In model 1, the variables among the general characteristics which significantly affect nursing intention are “6 months to less than 1 year of nursing experience for severe COVID-19 patients” (β=.29, p=.001), “having the volition to provide nursing support for future COVID-19 patients” (β=0.28, p<.001), and the “intention according to the hospital situation”(β=.35, p<.001). In model 2, fatigue (β=-.18, p=.007) and nursing professionalism (β=.43, p<.001) affect nursing intention. The total explanatory power of Model 2 is 47.0% (F=16.93, p<.001, R² =.47).
Conclusion
To increase nursing intention for COVID-19 patients, intervention strategies should reduce nurses’ fatigue and introduce competency-strengthening programs as to improve nursing professionalism.

Purpose
This study aimed to examine the effect of person-environment fit on positive psychological capital, career commitment, and turnover intention among nurses working in university hospitals.
Methods
A survey was administered to 277 nurses working in a university hospital with more than 800 beds in J city. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used for analysis.
Results
Factors that directly explain turnover intention, person-environment fit, career commitment, and psychological capital exhibited a negative effect. However, while person-job fit did not directly affect turnover intention, it exhibited an indirect effect and total effect via positive psychological capital and career commitment.
Conclusion
Various programs should be developed to enhance nurses’ person-environment fit and person-job fit. Forming a positive attitude and strengthening nurses’ attachment and commitment toward nursing contribute to a lower turnover intention.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences through which nurses overcame turnover intention when first joining the field. Methods: Study subjects included 10 nurses, each of whom had four to six years of work experience at a general hospital. The experiences of overcoming turnover intentions were analyzed from the perspectives of beginner and experienced nurses, using qualitative contents analysis as a method of deduction. Results: The subjects’ turnover intention was low, with an average score of 2.25±0.35. Five themes and 15 sub-themes were extracted from their experiences. The five themes included: “gaining an understanding of the nursing scene”, “experiencing a support system”, “being satisfied with my job”, “developing into a skilled nurse”, and “overcoming and growing”. Conclusion: Subjects maintained low levels of turnover intention, and they were able handle difficulty and grow into their careers as nurses. These findings may inform the development of programs to overcome turnover intention, specifically in terms of factors affecting norvice nurses’ positive achievement factor.

Purpose
This descriptive study aimed to identify the effects of purposeful and timely nursing rounds on patients' perception of the quality of nursing services and nurses' perception of nursing rounds.
Methods
Intentional nursing rounds were conducted by communicating patients’ questions on pain, position, pump, potty, and possessions. A total of 144 nurses and 149 patients participated, and data were collected using self-report questionnaires. The independent t-test, x ² test, and Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test were used to analyze the data with SPSS version 24.0.
Results
Although intentional nursing rounds improved the nurses’ perception of nursing rounds, there was no significant difference. The nurses’ benefit had the lowest score (3.36), and the benefit of communication with patients had the highest score (3.79). Intentional nursing rounds significantly improved the patients’ perception of the quality of nursing services in the intervention group. Among the factors of empathy (Z=4.98, p<.001) related to the quality of nursing services as perceived by the patient, assurance (Z=5.50, p<.001), reliability (Z=4.43, p<.001), and responsiveness (Z=5.02, p<.001) significantly increased.
Conclusion
Intentional nursing rounds positively affected patients’ perception of the quality of nursing service. It is important to improve intentional nursing rounds to enhance nurses’ perceptions of them.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between job stress and turnover intention and the mediating effect of job embeddedness on the relationship among hospital nurses in rural areas. Methods: This is a descriptive study. A total of 277 registered nurses were enrolled in the study from three hospitals in rural areas of South Korea from April 29 to May 10, 2019. The participants completed self-reporting questionnaires, which measured job stress, turnover intention, and job embeddedness, and collected demographic information. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0, for multiple regression, and a simple mediation model applying the Hayes PROCESS macro with a 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval (5,000 bootstrap resampling). Results: Job stress had a direct effect (c’=0.35, p<.001) on turnover intention. It was also demonstrated that job embeddedness partially mediated the relationship between job stress and turnover intention among the hospital nurses (a ․ b=-0.40 × -0.58=0.23, 95% Boot C). Conclusion: The job stress and turnover intention of nurses in rural areas are not higher than those in large cities. Nevertheless, hospital administrators need to provide a nursing workforce policy to increase job embeddedness and reduce nurses’ turnover intention.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of head nurses’ authentic leadership, job satisfaction and organizational commitment as perceived by newly licensed nurses and to identify related factors influencing turnover intention.
Methods
A descriptive survey study was conducted with survey data collected between September 9 and 27, 2019 from 190 newly licensed nurses. The data was analyzed using statistical methods including descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression employing SPSS 24.0.
Results
The analysis results show that the turnover intention had positive correlations with the total work experience and work experience with a head nurse, while negative correlations were found with job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The factors affecting the dependent variable of turnover intention were analyzed as the total work experience (β=23, p=.014) and organizational commitment (β=-.68, p<.001). In addition, the explanation ability of turnover intention of newly licensed nurses was 48% (F=36.06, p<.001).
Conclusion
The results show that even after their preceptee period, there is a need for systematic long-term job-training programs to enhance the work adaptability and organizational commitment of newly licensed nurses.

Purpose
This study was done to explore research trends on start-up intention of college students in Korea.
Methods
Articles published from 2014 to 2018 were searched. Search term was “start-up intention.” At the first search, 2,137 articles were extracted from academic databases (DB). One hundred forty six articles were used in the systematic review and 88 articles were used in the meta analysis.
Results
There were 384 variables explored in relation to start-up intention. In the correlation and regression analysis, self efficacy and risk taking showed statistical significance in most research. In the meta analysis, career orientation, start-up preparation behavior, and start-up attitude showed statistical significant effect size.
Conclusion
We propose that structural equation model analysis be conducted to find causal relation among variables affecting start-up intention of college students. This will contribute to development of theoretical models for the activation of nursing entrepreneurship.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to describe differences in turnover intention according to work period for new nurses and to explore factors influencing differences in turnover intention.
METHODS
A longitudinal survey design was used. A structured questionnaire regarding CC (Clinical competence), MNC (Missed Nursing Care), WE (Work Engagement) and turnover intention was administered twice(at 2 months and 5 months of employment) to 98 new nurses working at a tertiary hospital.
RESULTS
The regression model with each of the differences for MNC, WE, and subjective satisfaction with department against differences of turnover intention was statistically significant (F=11.98, p < .001). This model explained 26% of differences in turnover intention (Adj. R²=.26). Especially, differences in WE (β=-.43, p < .001), and differences in MNC (β=.18 p=.044) were identified as factors influencing differences in turnover intention.
CONCLUSION
The turnover intention of new nurses decreased between the first 2 months and 5 months and this difference was influenced by WE and MNC. Therefore, it is necessary to provide social and institutional supports such as effective adaptation programs with sufficient periods of time for newly graduated nurses.
