Abstract

Objective: To explore the relationship between job stress, job burnout and turnover intention of operating room nurses in a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province. Methods: From January 2016 to January 2019, the operating room nurses with an average daily operation volume of more than 200 operating rooms in a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province were selected as the research objects. The work pressure, job burnout and turnover intention of nurses were investigated with the Chinese nurses' job stressor scale, job burnout table and turnover intention table. Pearson related factors were used to analyze job stress, job burnout and turnover intention Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing turnover intention. A total of 98 questionnaires were distributed and 98 questionnaires were returned, with a recovery rate of 100%. Results: The average score of job stress, job burnout and turnover intention were 85.49±5.42, 36.17±3.52 and 14.99±3.32, respectively. There were differences in the scores of work stress among different age, working years, education background and establishment groups (P<0.05) . The scores of job burnout among nurses with different working years, education background, professional title, salary and establishment were different (P< 0.05) ; the scores of turnover intention of nurses in different age, working years, professional title, salary and establishment group were different (P<0.05) ; salary, job burnout and occupational pressure were the influencing factors of turnover intention (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The operating room nurses have high work pressure and job burnout is an important factor leading to high turnover intention.
