Abstract

Purpose
: The study was conducted to compare the factor influencing resilience, nursing environment on turnover intention of ward and emergency room (ER) nurses for future human resource management strategies.
Methods
: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from June 15, 2019 and April 15, 2020. The participants included 237 nurses working in 4 general hospitals located in G Province. The SPSS/WIN 26.0 program was used to analyze the data; Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression were further performed. Results : Burnout(β=.38, p<.001), practice environment of nursing(β=-.29, p<.001) were found to influence turnover intention for ward nurses. Burnout(β=.45, p<.001), current departmental experience 7yr over(β=.36, p=.006), 3∼5yr(β=.34, p=.006), 1∼3yr(β=.31, p=.006), 5∼7yr(β=.30, p=.010) and age(40yr over)(β=-.24, p=.010) were found to influence turnover intention for emergency room nurse. These variables had a 37.5%(ward nurse, F=9.15, p<.001), 40.3%(ER nurse, F=9.35, p<.001) explanatory power for turnover intention.
Conclusion
: Continued research and intervention programs to prevent burnout are needed to reduce turnover intentions. Ward nurses need an improved nursing work environment, and emergency department nurses need a systematic division of duties based on experience and appropriate rewards for performance.
