Abstract

PurposeNurses' health is vital for retaining nurses in the profession. However, lack of study has examined how headaches and professional commitment interact to impact professional turnover intention. This study aims to examine the moderating effect of nurses' headaches on the relationship among professional commitment factors (affective professional commitment, continuance professional commitment and normative professional commitment) and nurses' professional turnover intention.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a two-wave design and questionnaires to survey 524 nurses from a large medical center in Taiwan during February and March 2017 (the first wave) and June and August 2017 (the second wave). Headaches were measured using descriptions formulated by the International Headache Society. Items measuring other constructs came from relevant literature. Regression analysis was used to assess relationships between the constructs.FindingsAll aspects of professional commitment are negatively related to professional turnover intention (B [CI] = −0.47 [−0.58, −0.36], −0.20 [−0.29, −0.11], −0.22 [−0.32, −0.12], p < 0.001). Headaches reduce the negative relation between affective professional commitment and professional turnover intention (B [CI] = 0.14 [0.02,0.27], p = 0.02).Practical implicationsHeadaches could interfere with nurses' commitment to the nursing profession and influence nurses' intention to leave. Managers should seek means to help alleviate nurses' headaches.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine how headaches and professional commitment interact to influence nurses' professional turnover intention.

医护人员心理健康:头痛与专业承诺交互影响护士离职意向

目的护士的健康是留住护士的关键。然而，关于头痛和职业承诺如何相互作用影响职业离职倾向的研究却很少。本研究旨在探讨护士头痛对专业承诺因素(情感性专业承诺、继续性专业承诺和规范性专业承诺)与护士专业离职倾向之间关系的调节作用。设计/方法/方法本研究采用两波设计和问卷调查，于2017年2月和3月(第一波)和2017年6月和8月(第二波)对台湾一家大型医疗中心的524名护士进行调查。头痛的测量使用国际头痛协会制定的描述。测量其他构念的项目来自相关文献。回归分析用于评估构念之间的关系。各方面的职业承诺与职业离职倾向呈负相关(B [CI] = - 0.47 [- 0.58， - 0.36]， - 0.20 [- 0.29， - 0.11]， - 0.22 [- 0.32， - 0.12]， p < 0.001)。头痛降低了情感性职业承诺与职业离职倾向的负向关系(B [CI] = 0.14 [0.02,0.27]， p = 0.02)。实际意义:头痛可能会干扰护士对护理职业的承诺，并影响护士离职的意愿。管理人员应该设法帮助减轻护士的头痛。原创性/价值本研究首次探讨头痛与专业承诺对护士专业离职倾向的交互影响。
