Purpose This study aimed to confirm the mediating effects of transition shock on the relationships among grit, social support, and retention intention of new graduate nurses. Methods A total of 174 new graduate nurses were recruited from a university hospital and a general hospital. The data were collected between November and December 2022 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Baron and Kenny’s three-step regression analysis, and the PROCESS Macro Model 4. Results Nurses’ retention intention was positively correlated with grit (r=.56, p<.001) and social support (r=.48, p<.001) and negatively correlated with transition shock (r=-.56, p<.001). The mediating analysis revealed that transition shock mediated the relationship between grit and retention intention as well as between social support and retention intention. Conclusion Based on the findings, an intervention program should be developed to reduce transition shock in new graduate nurses to increase their intention of retention.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe differences in turnover intention according to work period for new nurses and to explore factors influencing differences in turnover intention. METHODS A longitudinal survey design was used. A structured questionnaire regarding CC (Clinical competence), MNC (Missed Nursing Care), WE (Work Engagement) and turnover intention was administered twice(at 2 months and 5 months of employment) to 98 new nurses working at a tertiary hospital. RESULTS The regression model with each of the differences for MNC, WE, and subjective satisfaction with department against differences of turnover intention was statistically significant (F=11.98, p < .001). This model explained 26% of differences in turnover intention (Adj. R²=.26). Especially, differences in WE (β=-.43, p < .001), and differences in MNC (β=.18 p=.044) were identified as factors influencing differences in turnover intention. CONCLUSION The turnover intention of new nurses decreased between the first 2 months and 5 months and this difference was influenced by WE and MNC. Therefore, it is necessary to provide social and institutional supports such as effective adaptation programs with sufficient periods of time for newly graduated nurses.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance on the experience of new graduate nurses. METHODS A cross-sectional survey design was used. The participants in this study were 149 nurses who had less than 12 months of nursing experience and were working at one of 4 general hospitals. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire from Nov. 2012 to Oct. 2014. RESULTS The total mean score for Psychosocial health was 3.07+/-0.60, Self-nurturance, 3.38+/-0.44, and graduate nurse experience, 2.59+/-0.27. The effect of Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance predicted 23% of variance in graduate nurse experience. CONCLUSION These results indicate that Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance have a positive relationship to graduate nurse experience. Therefore, further studies including approaches that support Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance are recommended to help in the adaptation of newly graduated nurses to clinical settings.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify factors that affect reality shock in new nurses. METHODS Participants were 216 newly graduated nurses with less than 1 year experience in 5 university and 10 general hospitals in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam, A self-report questionnaire was completed by the nurses between November 18 and December 25, 2013. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and hierarchial multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 Program. RESULTS Average scores for work environment and environmental reality shock were 2.63+/-0.33 and 2.66+/-0.43 points respectively. Regression analysis showed that with the nurses' demographic and work characteristics controlled, work environment explained 4.2% of the reality shock. Factors significantly affecting reality shock included nurses' changing residence because of job (beta=.21, p=.001), whether they were able to work on the unit of their choice (beta=-.13, p=.031) and whether they had a choice in days off (beta=-.14, p=.038). CONCLUSION When these factors are considered, reduction in nurses' reality shock requires improvement in work environment, placing new nurses in a department of their choice and allowing them a choice in off-duty days. These measures would also help achieve organizational goals and develop the new nurses as professional nurses.
