Abstract

Purpose: This study explored the attitudes and characteristics of nurse turnover using Q-method. Method: The Q-population was organized through in-depth interviews with nine nurses. A total of 43 Q-samples were selected from the 126 Q-population, and 30 nurses sorted the 43 statements using the principle of forced normal distribution. The PC-QUNAL program was used for Q-factor analysis. Result: Eight turnover attitude types of nurses were found: Professional pride-oriented, Seeking recognition within the organization, Perseverance, Egocentric calculation, Reality complacency, Seeking Work-life-balance, Interpersonal dependence, and Seeking justification. Conclusion: The findings of this study can serve as the basis to understand nurses' turnover attitudes and can aid in developing nursing management strategies to increase nurse retention.
