Study On The Current Situation And Influencing Factors Of Male Nurses’ Turnover Intention In A Tertiary Hospital In A Certain Area

Objective: To understand the current situation of turnover intention of male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of a region,further analyze the factors influencing their turnover intention,provide them with targeted and individualized guidance,and thus offer theoretical foundation and direction for reducing the level of turnover intention.Methods: Convenience sampling was adopted in this study.The male nurses who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from four grade-A tertiary hospitals of a region during December 2021 and May 2022 were selected as research objects.Questionnaire survey was conducted using research tools,including general demographic information,work-related quality of life scale,Maslach burnout inventory,and turnover intention scale.Data entry and statistical analysis were performed with Epidata3.1 and SPSS26.0 software,respectively.The general data,turnover intention,work-related quality of life,and job burnout of male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of the region were statistically described as mean ±standard deviation,frequency,constituent ratio,etc.Independent-sample T test,chi-square test,and one-way variance were used to analyze the influence of the general data on turnover intention.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between turnover intention and work-related quality of life as well as job burnout.Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing turnover intention.Results:(1)The score of the turnover intention of male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of the region was 13.73 ± 2.84;the score of the job burnout was 64.68 ± 17.17;and the score of the quality of life was 85.96 ±19.28.(2)The scores of the turnover intention of male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of the region with different demographic characteristics were compared,and the results showed that there was statistical significance in the scores of the turnover intention in terms of age,years of working,professional title,job position,employment mode,average monthly income,frequency of night shifts,reasons for choosing nursing work,opinions of your family members on your nursing work,satisfaction on your own job income,whether you are full of confidence to the present working unit,love for nursing profession,whether your occupation is respected by the society in your opinion,risks you take in your job in your opinion,satisfaction on your current occupational environment,and whether you are worried about losing your job(P<0.05),but there was no statistical significance in the scores of the turnover intention in terms of highest educational attainment and marital status(P>0.05).(3)The results of correlation analysis indicated that the score of the turnover intention of male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of the region was positively correlated with that of job burnout(r=0.599,P<0.01),but negatively correlated with that of quality of life(r=-0.491,P<0.01).(4)The results of multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that job burnout,quality of work life,average monthly income,frequency of night shifts,love for nursing profession,opinions of family members on nursing work,satisfaction on job income,and confidence to the present working unit were the factors influencing the turnover intention of male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of the region(P<0.05),and they could account for 56.7% of the total variation.Conclusions: In this study,male nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals of the region had a high level of turnover intention.Average monthly income,frequency of night shifts,love for nursing profession,opinions of family members on nursing work,satisfaction on job income,confidence to the present working unit,job burnout,and quality of work life were the main factors influencing their turnover intention.Hospital managers should pay close attention to the current situation of their turnover intention,carry out individualized occupational planning,and establish a correct concept of professional identity to reduce the turnover rate of male nurses and stabilize nursing teams.
