Abstract
Objective To explore the current situation of intention to stay and its influencing factors and to analyze the correlations and interactions among resilience, perceived professional benefits and intention to stay. Methods Cross-sectional survey was used in this study. In June 2017, we selected nurses from three general hospitals of aerospace system as respondents by convenience sampling. All of the nurses were investigated with the general information questionnaire, Nurses' Job Retention Questionnaire, Questionnaire of Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefits and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) . A total of 600 questionnaires were sent out and 589 valid questionnaires were collected with 98.17% for the valid recovery rate. The data were analyzed with the Pearson correlation, multiple stepwise regression and mediating effect. Results Among 589 nurses the total scores of intention to stay, perceived professional benefits and resilience were (3.28±0.58) , (128.85±17.48) and (86.55±12.11) respectively. There were statistical differences in the scores of intention to stay among nurses with different ages, authorized sizes, job title, length of care time, operating hours, self-health conditions and burdens of family (P<0.05) . Pearson correlation showed that nurses' resilience and perceived professional benefits had positive correlations with the intention to stay (r=0.387, 0.557; P<0.05) . Multiple stepwise regression showed that the five main influencing factors of nurses' intention to stay included health condition, nursing years, positive perceived profession, team sense of belonging and tenacity which explained 35.3% of the variance of nurses' intention to stay. Nurses' resilience had a partial mediation effect between perceived professional benefits and intention to stay with 12.43% for the effect value. Conclusions Nurses' intension to stay is in a medium level which influenced by many factors. Nursing managers can increase nurses' intension to stay by improving nurses' perceived professional benefits and resilience.
