Abstract
- Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of turnover to a long-term care hospital nurse. Methods: Data were collected using in-depth interviews and analyzed using a Giorgi’s phenomenological approach. The participants were ten nurses who worked on the wards of a long-term care hospital in Busan metropolitan. Results: The results were summarized into five themes and seventeen core meanings. The five themes were ‘A choice based on one's convenience’, ‘Feeling overwhelmed by tasks beyond the scope of nursing duties’, ‘Thinking about turnover from time to time’, ‘An environment where personal growth as a nurse cannot be expected’ and ‘Becoming a nurse for long-term care’. Conclusion: To ensure patient safety and prevent nurse turnover in long-term care hospitals, it is necessary to improve the nursing environment, establish clear job manuals, and create a reasonable salary system.
