Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences through which nurses overcame turnover intention when first joining the field. Methods: Study subjects included 10 nurses, each of whom had four to six years of work experience at a general hospital. The experiences of overcoming turnover intentions were analyzed from the perspectives of beginner and experienced nurses, using qualitative contents analysis as a method of deduction. Results: The subjects’ turnover intention was low, with an average score of 2.25±0.35. Five themes and 15 sub-themes were extracted from their experiences. The five themes included: “gaining an understanding of the nursing scene”, “experiencing a support system”, “being satisfied with my job”, “developing into a skilled nurse”, and “overcoming and growing”. Conclusion: Subjects maintained low levels of turnover intention, and they were able handle difficulty and grow into their careers as nurses. These findings may inform the development of programs to overcome turnover intention, specifically in terms of factors affecting norvice nurses’ positive achievement factor.

PURPOSE
The study aim was to compare nursing service satisfaction, hospital commitment and revisit intention between patients on general care units and comprehensive nursing care units. METHODS Participants were 201 hospitalized patients in a WHO tertiary hospital and a general hospital. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the satisfaction with nursing service between patients on general care units and comprehensive nursing care units (t=14.73, p < .001). There was a significant difference in the hospital commitment between general care units and comprehensive nursing care units (t=7.52, p < .001). There was a significant difference in the revisit intention between patients on general care units and patients on comprehensive nursing care units (t=6.01, p < .001). There were significant relationships among nursing service satisfaction, hospital commitment and revisit intention. CONCLUSION The findings reveal that patients on comprehensive nursing care units were more satisfied with the nursing service, hospital commitment, and revisit intention compared to general care unit patients. Nursing service satisfaction and hospital commitment were factors affecting hospital revisit intention. Therefore, these results are important data for complementing and expanding the comprehensive nursing service system to improve satisfied with nursing service and hospital commitment to increase hospital revisit intention.

PURPOSE
This study was done to examine interpersonal relations, hope, professional self-concept and turnover intention according to adult attachment styles in early stage nurses. METHODS A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 245 nurses who work in one of six general hospitals. Additionally, a qualitative method was used to obtain data on experiences in interpersonal relations. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WINdows 14.0 and qualitative data from open question in the survey questionnaire were analyzed using content analysis. RESULTS There was a significant difference in interpersonal relations, hope, and professional self-concept according to adult attachment styles. In the interpersonal relation of early stage nurses, 8 themes were identified, of which the most frequent were: a comfortable relationship with my co-workers (43%) and stress from the relationship (34%).
