title: Factors associated with turnover interntion among nurses in small and medium-sized medical institutions.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to evaluate factors associated with turnover intention among nurses in small and medium-sized medical institutions.
  
  
  METHODS
  A self-administered questionaire survey was performed in 293 registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and assistant nurses working full-time in various medical institutions. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted, with turnover intention as the dependent variable, and nurses' basic attributes and job satisfaction as independent variables.
  
  
  RESULTS
  As for nurses' basic attributes, turnover intention was significantly associated with registered nurses, younger nurses and those with low satisfaction with sleep. As for nurses' job satisfaction, the number of nurses with turnover intention was significantly higher for those with low satisfaction with salary, low satisfaction with welfare, poor implementation of fair salary raise and poor cooperation among nurses.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Turnover intention may be reduced by the enhancement of trust in the organization, giving appropriate advice to young nurses and registered nurses, and developing measures for addressing sleep disorders.
