Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between general hospital nurses' work environment, resilience, and intention to remain, as well as to identify the factors associated with nurses' intention to remain. Methods: Study participants were nurses at a general hospital in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea. Data collection was undertaken from July 6th to 20th, 2017, through questionnaire responses from 257 nurses. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis, including: independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 22.0. Results: Nurses' work environment, resilience, and intention to remain were found to have a statistically significant correlation. Intention to remain showed statistically significant positive correlations with the nurse's work environment (r=.72, p<.001), resilience (r=.50, p<.001). Factors found to influence intention to remain were work environment, resilience, job satisfaction, and health status. Conclusion: The study findings support the development of a specialized program to strengthen nurses' intention to remain. During the program's formulation, it is necessary to improve nurses' work environment and find ways to bolster the resilience of individual nurses.
