Abstract
Purpose This study was conducted to describe job stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention, and to explore factors influencing turnover intention of nurses working in long-term care facilities for elders. Method: The participants were 338 nurses in long-term care facilities with more than 100 elders admitted across the nation. A questionnaire was distributed to 324 nurses who agreed to participate. Of these, 280 nurses responded. The data were analyzed using the SAS program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and multiple linear regression. Results The degree of job stress, job satisfaction and turnover intention of nurses in long-term care facilities for elders were 3.46 (±0.56), 3.11 (±0.39), and 3.12 (±1.02), respectively, with a possible range of 1 to 5. Factors influencing turnover intention were age of the nurse, marital status, clinical experience (years), facility type, satisfaction with current facility, turnover experience, job stress, and job satisfaction. Conclusion Turnover intention of nurses in the long-term care facilities for elders was high, and the degree of turnover intention was higher with more job stress and less job satisfaction.
