Abstract
Background: We investigated the effects of self-leadership, resilience, and communication ability on the intention to keep one's nursing job among Korean nurses.
Methods: Data were collected from 245 nurses from hospitals in Jeollanam-do Province, Republic of Korea in 2022. The collected data were analyzed using independent t-tests, one-way analyses of variance, post-hoc tests, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: The intention to keep one's nursing job was positively correlated with self-leadership (r=0.34, P<0.001), resilience (r=0.45, P<0.001), and communication ability (r=0.34, P<0.001). Positive correlations were also found between self-leadership and resilience (r=0.65, P<0.001), communication ability and self-leadership (r=0.49, P<0.001), and resilience and communication ability (r=0.69, P<0.001). Furthermore, resilience (β=0.27, P=0.001), age (β=0.26, P<0.001), welfare satisfaction (β=0.17, P=0.003), and communication ability (β=0.16, P=0.031) influenced nurses' intention to keep their jobs. The regression model was statistically significant (F=24.94, P<0.001), and the explanatory power was 29.4%.
Conclusion: Nurses' intention to keep their jobs can be strengthened by improving their treatment, welfare, and communication abilities. Accordingly, educational programs are needed to create an efficient nursing environment and improve nurses' resilience and communication abilities.
期刊介绍:
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
