Abstract

Purpose: This study was aimed to explore turnover intention of novice nurses. Methods: This study was an exploratory survey including quantitative and qualitative components. Qualitative data were obtained from an open survey question in the survey and analyzed using the method of content analysis. The data were collected from 245 nurses with less than three years experience at six general hospitals. Results: The early stage nurses scored an average of 14.5 (${\pm}3.31$) in turnover intention. Fourteen themes were identified in turnover intention experiences of early stage nurses, and each theme was divided into five categories: interpersonal relationship stress (33.7%), being regretful for choosing a nursing career (21.6), A feeling of low competency for direct nursing care (19.8), dissatisfaction with the welfare of the hospital (13.0), Increased extra-work burden (11.9). The participants requested for improvement in the following conditions to continue a nursing career descending order in priority: wage ($3.6{\pm}1.50$), work load ($3.0{\pm}1.83$), work environment ($2.8{\pm}1.63$), welfare facilities ($1.4{\pm}1.53$), the status of nurse ($1.2{\pm}1.57$), etc. Conclusion: These findings are helpful for the development of intervention strategies to decrease turnover intention of early stage nurses.
