PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing nurse turnover intention in small and medium sized hospitals in the metropolitan area. METHODS A cross-sectional survey design was used. A questionnaire was distributed to the nurses in small and medium sized hospitals. The data of 209 nurses was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. RESULTS Organizational commitment and age were identified as factors influencing turnover intention. These factors explained 56.8% of variance of turnover intention. CONCLUSION Results suggest that establishment of organizational commitment needs to be discussed and continuously developed. Further study is also necessary to identify the key mechanism in nurse turnover intention. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to analyze the role performance and related factors of the Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC). METHODS A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 134 Clinical Research Coordinators in 4 hospitals and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS The scores for role performance of CRC were high (average 336.51 points of a possible 420 points, mean average 5.74+/-0.67 of a possible 7) and the degree of role performance in the management task sub dimension (mean average 6.12+/-0.77 of a possible 7) was higher than any other sub dimension. Role performance of the CRC was also related to job satisfaction (r=.198, p=.023). CONCLUSION The study results indicate that most CRC are nurses and perceive their role as very important. Further the CRC performance of activities of management task and the Coordination/Advocacy task sub dimension were high and higher levels of job satisfaction were related to higher levels of role performance of CRC was. Therefore, strategies related to improvement in the fringe benefit system and work environment should be developed to increase job satisfaction and thus increase job performance.
