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
This study is conducted in order to identify a positive psychological capital and rewards as variables in relation to the retention intention of hospital nurses. Methods: The participants were consisted of 350 nurses with 6 months or more of total work experience in 1 senior general hospital and 2 general hospitals in Incheon and individual data were collected from July 22 to August 10. 2019. Collected data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis using IBM SPSS statistics 24.0. Results: It was confirmed that the factors affecting the retention intention were never had any resignation impulse' in the past year (β=.11,p=.023), positive psychological capital (β=.43, p<.001), privileged rewards (β=.25, p<.001), monetary rewards (β= -.20, p=.001), and job rewards (β=-.15, p=.039) and the explanatory power of the model was 27.8%. Conclusion: Based on the result of this study, it is suggested to develop educational and training programs whose aim is to enhance the positive psychological capital. Moreover, it will be to promote retention intention of nurses and to extend the tenure through the proper reward system that meets the duty and ability, by which nurses realize that they are rewarded.

PURPOSE
This study was done to identify the relationships of perception of JCI (Joint Commission International) hospital accreditation, nursing performance, self-concept and retention intention in nurses.
METHODS
Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 199 JCI-accredited nurses in general hospitals located in Gyeonggi Province. Data collection was done in May 2015 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé's test, and Pearson correlation coefficients.
RESULTS
The scores for perception, and nursing performance were (on a five-point Likert scale) 3.34, 3.78 respectively, and self-concept and retention intention were (on a eight-point Likert scale) 5.40 and 5.21 respectively. Nurses' perception, nursing performance, self-concept, and retention intention showed significant differences depending on age, marital status, education, department, work experience, position, Korean accreditation, and JCI accreditation. A positive correlation was observed between perception, nursing performance, self-concept, and retention intention.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study indicate that enhancing positive perception and good nursing performance can produce good self-concept and retention intention.

PURPOSE
This study was designed to examine effects of sense of calling, job satisfaction and organizational commitment on retention intention in nurses who are at the advanced beginner-stage.
METHODS
Participants were 199 nurses with 13 to 36 months' clinical career at hospital located in Busan, Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation, and Multiple regression.
RESULTS
Retention intention correlated positively with sense of calling (r=.43, p<.001), job satisfaction (r=.31, p<.001) and organizational commitment (r=.31, p<.001). Factors affecting the participants' retention intention were found to be statistically significant (F=21.96, p<.001). Total factor score accounted for 24.1% of retention intention. Out of the related factors, the most influential factor was 'goals/meaning', belonging to the sub-areas of the sense of calling and explaining 18.2% of retention intention, followed by organizational commitment and average monthly income in that order.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study suggest a need to develop a management program that helps promote retention intention for nurses at the advanced beginner-stage by both improving their monthly income and outside conditions and, more importantly, raising their sense of calling, especially in association with the goals/meaning of their life.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the impact of nursing professionalism on the nursing performance and retention intention among psychiatric mental health nurses.
METHODS
As a descriptive correlational study, this study sampled 206 psychiatric mental health nurses in six hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi area through convenience sampling. Data were collected from March 2 to 31, 2009 using a self-report questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 16.0.
RESULTS
In the subscales of professionalism, the 'Sense of calling' had the highest mean score while the 'Professional organization' had the lowest mean score. A significant positive correlation was observed in nursing professionalism, nursing performance and retention intention. According to an analysis on the impact of each subscale of nursing professionalism on nursing performance and retention intention, the 'Sense of calling' and 'Autonomy' were the most significant predictor variable.
CONCLUSION
The results confirmed that the improvement of psychiatric mental health nurses' professionalism increases their nursing performance and retention intention and the 'Sense of calling' and 'Autonomy' are critical prediction factors. It is necessary to come up with a strategy which strengthens nursing professionalism in order to improve psychiatric mental health nurses' performance and retention intention.
