Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of self-efficacy, resilience, and nursing work environment on intent to stay among newly graduated nurses. Methods: The participants were 204 newly graduated nurses working in one of three general hospitals in U city, South Korea. Data were collected from August 1 to 31 2018. A self-report questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. Results: Factors significantly affecting intent to stay included nurse manager ability, leadership, support of nurses (β=.18, p=.016), nursing foundations for quality of care (β=.18, p=.032), and unwanted department assignment (β=-.194,p.001), and these variables explained 38.4% of intent to stay (F=12.49, p<.001). Conclusion: To increase the retention of newly graduated nurses, hospital and nurse leaders should improve the work environment for nurses, particularly in relation to nurse manager ability, leadership, and support of nurses, and nursing foundations for quality of care. Additionally, nurse leaders can facilitate intent to stay by placing nurses in the department of their choice.

PURPOSE This study was performed to measure nursing professionalism, organizational communication, and intent to stay, and investigate the relationship among these three variables in geriatric hospital nurses. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was done with the participation of 195 nurses working at 23 geriatric hospitals in B city of Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Data were collected from January 19 to 25, 2018 using structured questionnaires and were analyzed using SPSS/WIN program. RESULTS The geriatric hospital nurses' scores for nursing professionalism, organizational communication, and intent to stay were relatively lower than those of general hospital nurses. Each of these three variables was differently perceived according to participants' general characteristics but there was a positive correlation between them. The factors influencing intent to stay were organizational communication, age and through newspapers/advertising (one of motivations for working at geriatric hospitals). These three variables explained 47% of intent to stay. CONCLUSION To increase intent to stay in geriatric hospital nurses, nursing or hospital managers must develop and apply programs that help improve nurses' professionalism and organizational communication. Especially geriatric hospital nursing managers should try to provide organizational communication enhancement programs for young and inexperienced nurses.

PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate the effects of job embeddedness and nursing professionalism on intent to stay in hospital nurses. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional survey. Participants were 242 nurses working at four general hospitals in P city of Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. Data were collected from August 29 to September 10, 2016. Structured questionnaires were used and analyzed with the SPSS/PC program. RESULTS The scores were, for job embeddedness, 3.19 (out of 5.0), nursing professionalism, 3.50 (out of 5.0), and intent to stay, 5.30 (out of 8.0). The three variables were all different according to participants' general characteristics. Factors influencing intent to stay were organization fitness (one of 4 sub-factors of job embeddedness), social recognition (one of 5 sub-factors of nursing professionalism) and age (one of participants' general characteristics). These three variables explained 34% of intent to stay. CONCLUSION To increase competent career nurses' intent to stay, nursing and hospital managers must develop and implement programs that help improve nurses' organization fitness to adjust well in their organization and healthcare institutions and nursing organizations must continue efforts to raise social recognition of nurses and to improve nurses' working conditions.
