The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of turnover intention of nursing according to the nurses' practice environments and job embeddedness in medium-to-small sized hospitals. A total of 131 nurses working in a hospital with less than 200 beds, and 145 nurses in a hospital with 200 to 400 beds were included in this study. Data were collected from 10th to 24th of August, 2015 and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The results were as follows: (a) Nurses' practice environment and job embeddedness showed no significant differences between the two groups, but there were significant differences of turnover intention between the two groups; (b) turnover intention was negatively correlated with nurses' practice environment and job embeddedness in each group; and (c) in hospital of less than 200beds, the factors of influencing turnover intention were job embeddedness, age and nurses' practice environment. Conversely, in a hospital with 200 to 400 beds, the factors of influencing turnover intention were job embeddedness, pay, and nurses' practice environment. This study suggests that to reduce turnover intention, we have to improve the practice environment of nurses and to enhance job embeddedness for nurses in medium-to-small sized hospitals.

This study is a descriptive research to determine the mediating effect of Positive Psychological Capital on the relationship between Job Stress and Retention Intention among nurses working at blood centers in the metropolitan area. Data were collected from 167 nurses using a structured questionnaire between May 2021 and April 2022, and analyzed by SPSS ver.25. General characteristics were analyzed through frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The relationship between Job Stress and Retention Intention was analyzed using independent samples t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation. Hypotheses were tested using hierarchical multiple regression analysis and PROCESS macro model 4. The results substantiated the hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 proposed that higher Retention Intention and Positive Psychological Capital were associated with lower Job Stress. Hypothesis 2 suggested that Positive Psychological Capital significantly partially mediates the relationship between Retention Intention and Job Stress. To promote Retention Intention among blood center nurses, it is crucial to implement human resource management systems aimed at alleviating Job Stress and enhancing Positive Psychological Capital. Specifically, enhancing Positive Psychological Capital within blood centers is particularly significant. This study contributes empirical evidence necessary for efficient personnel management and competency enhancement programs to reduce Job Stress, thereby enhancing the quality of nursing care among blood center nurses. Furthermore, it is recommended to develop intervention programs for Positive Psychological Capital to enhance Retention Intention and reduce Job Stress among blood center nurses.

This study was conducted to determine the mediating effect of reciprocity in the relationship between emotional labor and turnover intention of clinical nurses. The subjects were nurses from hospitals with over 300 beds in G city, and 197 data were analyzed. Data were analyzed t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. As a result, the turnover intention showed a positive correlation with emotional labor and a negative correlation with reciprocity. The emotional labor showed a negative correlation with reciprocity. Reciprocity showed a partial mediating effect between emotional labor and turnover intention. The higher the emotional labor and the lower the sub-factors of reciprocity, the higher the intention to turnover. Therefore, although it is important to reduce emotional labor in order to reduce the intention of the organization to turn away from clinical nurses experiencing emotional labor, it suggests that efforts to improve reciprocity and to prepare management plan are important.

This study examined the mediator or moderator role of job embeddedness in the relationship between the nursing performance and turnover intention. Data was collected from 653 nurses in 3 tertiary hospitals, 2 secondary hospitals, and 3 small-medium sized hospitals in Daegu, and analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlations, hierarchical multiple regression using the PASW 18.0 program and structural equation model (SEM) using the AMOS 18.0 program. The job embeddedness showed mediating effects between the nursing performance and turnover intention. On the other hand, job embeddedness did not have moderating effects. This study confirmed that job embeddedness had a mediating effect on the relationship between the nursing performance and turnover intention. Enhancing job embeddedness is required to promote nursing performance and reduce turnover intention.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of new graduate nurses' empathy and their perceived preceptors' empathy on job satisfaction, job stress and turnover intention. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on new graduate nurses who were under 12 months old while working at three medical institutions that operated the preceptorship. In the preceptorship according to adult learning theory, the preceptors need to create a psychological environment for the new graduate nurses, and their empathy should be perceived by new graduate nurses. The study revealed that the new graduate nurses group with high level of empathy had high levels of job satisfaction, low job stress, and low degree of turnover intention, and the level of empathy affects job satisfaction of new graduate nurses. The new graduate nurses group with low level of perceived preceptor's empathy had low job satisfaction, high job stress, and high degree of turnover intention, and their perceived preceptor's empathy affected job stress and turnover intention. Based on these results, we suggest the introduction of a program to enhance empathy for new graduate nurses and preceptors.

This study is a descriptive survey study conducted to identify the factors affecting the turnover intention of hospital nurses who were cohort-isolated due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The data collected from 191 university hospital nurses were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 program by descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation analysis, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Among the factors affecting the turnover intention, the higher the infection control job stress (𝛽=.40, p<.001), the lower the support of the boss among social support at work (𝛽=-.21, p=.004). The lower the resilience (𝛽=-.16, p=.016) the higher the turnover intention. The explanatory power of these variables was 25% (Adj. R²=.25, F=16.99, p<.001). In particular, the infection control job stress of hospital nurses who had the entire hospital under cohort-isolated due to the outbreak of COVID-19 was above average. It is necessary to find a way to reduce infection control job stress, and to reduce the negative aspects of the organization and work with the support of the superior to lower the turnover intention. In addition, it is necessary to seek to reduce turnover intention as a program to strengthen resilience to improve resilience.
