Purpose
This study aimed to explore the effects of presenteeism, burnout, and nursing performance on intention to retention among nurses of an intensive care unit in one tertiary hospital.
Method
The data were collected from from July 1 to July 31, 2023, from 172 nurses at intensive care units. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 26.0 program.
Results
A four-step hierarchical regression model, including control variables, presenteeism, burnout, and nursing performance, accounted for 44.9% of the factors influencing intention to retention. Burnout (β=-.54, p<.001), nursing performance (β=.21, p=.002), health problem (β=-.07, p=.040), and experience of turnover (β=-.16, p=.008) were identified as the significant predictor of intention to retention. Model III, which adds burnout, has a significant 23.5%p increase in explanatory power over Model II, indicating that burnout has the strongest impact on intention to retention.
Conclusion
For enhancing the intention to retention of the intensive care nurses, it is necessary to provide a systematic strategy and support to increase the performance of nurses and to try to reduce the burnout and health problems of nurses.
