Purpose
This study aimed to examine the effect of person-environment fit on positive psychological capital, career commitment, and turnover intention among nurses working in university hospitals. Methods A survey was administered to 277 nurses working in a university hospital with more than 800 beds in J city. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used for analysis. Results Factors that directly explain turnover intention, person-environment fit, career commitment, and psychological capital exhibited a negative effect. However, while person-job fit did not directly affect turnover intention, it exhibited an indirect effect and total effect via positive psychological capital and career commitment. Conclusion Various programs should be developed to enhance nurses’ person-environment fit and person-job fit. Forming a positive attitude and strengthening nurses’ attachment and commitment toward nursing contribute to a lower turnover intention. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
Professional quality of life is the quality one feels in relation to their work as a helper. The purpose of this study was to describe professional quality of life among emergency nurses. METHODS A total of 15 emergency rooms were selected in three cities. Among 263 nurses working at these emergency rooms, 178 nurses consented to participate in this cross-sectional survey. Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) Scale version 5 was used to measure compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Cluster analysis was used to classify nurses according to professional quality of life. RESULTS The mean scores (SD) for compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress were 32.12 (5.45), 28.27 (4.28), and 28.20 (5.07), respectively. The result of cluster analysis according to standardized score of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress yielded three clusters. Over 50% of participants showed low professional quality of life. Nurses who were included in a cluster representing low professional quality of life were younger, had shorter periods of nursing experience, and perceivedlower social support than other cluster. CONCLUSION Education or support programs for emergency nurses are needed to enhance their professional quality of life. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
