Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between socio-cognitive mindfulness, job stress, social support, and turnover intention among general hospital nurses and identify the factors influencing nurses’ turnover intention.
Methods
A descriptive survey was conducted among 218 nurses from five general hospitals located in G metropolitan city. The participants completed a questionnaire measuring the study variables, and the data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis in SPSS/WIN 28.0.
Results
Significant differences were found in turnover intention by gender (t=-2.12, p=.036), family type (t=-3.09, p=.002), work department (F=7.01, p<.001), and work type (t=2.55, p=.011). Socio-cognitive mindfulness was positively related to social support (r=.331, p<.001), and turnover intention was positively related to job stress (r=.347, p<.001). The factors influencing nurses’ turnover intention included job stress (β=.317, p<.001), work department (artificial kidney room: β=-.287, p=.004; emergency room: β=-.219, p=.015), social support (β=-.183, p=.005), and work type (shift work: β=.170, p=.036), respectively. These factors explained 23.4% of the variance.
Conclusion
The findings indicate the need to develop programs to effectively cope with job stress and implement mentoring systems or psychological support programs to reduce turnover intention among nurses at the organizational level.

RESULTS
Factors influencing resilience in the participants were emotional intelligence (β=.38, p < .001), coping behavior-focusing on the positive (β=.29, p < .001), nurse motivation (β=.16, p=.006), organizational socialization (β=.17, p=.009), coping behavior-tension reduction (β=.14, p=.023). These factors contributed 54% of the total variance in resilience.
