Abstract

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to identify the effects of job embeddedness, nursing work environment, and nursing professionalism on turnover intention in nurses working at rehabilitation hospitals.
METHODS
This descriptive study employed a cross-sectional research design. Questionnaires were collected from May to June, 2019. Participants were 200 nurses from three rehabilitation hospitals in Seoul and Gyunggi province. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, stepwise multiple regression.
RESULTS
Mean scores for turnover intention, nursing work environment, nursing professionalism. and job embeddedness were 3.21±0.65, 2.90±0.43, 3.06±0.24, and 3.11±0.40, respectively. Turnover intention was negatively correlated with job embeddedness, nursing practice environment, and nursing professionalism. Nursing work environment was the most important predictor in turnover intention, followed by job embeddedness.
CONCLUSION
The findings in this study indicated that we need to investigate the level of job embededness, nursing work environment, and nursing professionalism in nurses working at rehabilitation hospitals.
