Abstract
Aim: To describe job satisfaction and to explore the rationale for the nurse turnover request.
Method: A mix-method was carried out. The study was conducted in Hub Hospital in Rome, using a convenience sampling to all nursing staff on duty in the following areas: medical area, surgical and urgency/emergency areas.
Results: The sample of 133 nurses was found to have good job satisfaction (60.9%). 21% feel dissatisfied and 18% are uncertain about the degree of satisfaction. Nurses belonging to the urgent-emergency area showed the highest satisfaction (43.7%), while the most dissatisfied were nurses of the surgical area (53.3%). The age group between 45-50 years is useful for immediate turnover, compared to the over 50 who prefer to remain in the reality where it operates. The qualitative analysis revealed 7 macro-areas.
Conclusions: Nurses have good job satisfaction, but many of them believe a turnover is necessary. The findings have important implications for nurses by helping to improve work environments, thus reducing turnover intention.
