title: Relationships between compassion fatigue, burnout, and turnover intention in Korean hospital nurses.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study aimed to identify relationships between compassion fatigue, burnout, and turnover intention in Korean hospital nurses.
  
  
  METHODS
  In total, 142 hospital nurses were surveyed as part of data collection. Data related to compassion fatigue, burnout, and turnover intention were collected using a questionnaire between May 2011 and September 2011. The data analysis was performed using PASW 19.0 program, which included one-way ANOVA, independent t-tests, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This study detected a positive correlation between compassion fatigue and burnout(r=.37, p<.001), and turnover intention(r=.55, p<.001). Compassion fatigue accounted for 29.6% of the variance for turnover intention among Korean hospital nurses.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results indicate that it is necessary to reduce compassion fatigue, and turnover intention among Korean hospital nurses.
