  • Purpose
    This study was done to examine interpersonal relations, hope, professional self-concept and turnover intention according to adult attachment styles in early stage nurses.
  • Methods
    A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 245 nurses who work in one of six general hospitals. Additionally, a qualitative method was used to obtain data on experiences in interpersonal relations. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WINdows 14.0 and qualitative data from open question in the survey questionnaire were analyzed using content analysis.
  • Results
    There was a significant difference in interpersonal relations, hope, and professional self-concept according to adult attachment styles. In the interpersonal relation of early stage nurses, 8 themes were identified, of which the most frequent were: a comfortable relationship with my co-workers (43%) and stress from the relationship (34%).
  • Conclusion
    Findings from this study should be useful in the development of programs to promote adult attachment and professional self-concept for early stage nurses.
  • Key Words: Nurses; Object attachment; Interpersonal relations; Self-concept; Personnel turnover
