| Abstract |
This study was attempted to analyze the factors affecting clinical research nurses(CRN)’ intention to stay in their job. The number of participants was 136 CRN who had been working at 8 university hospital in Korea. Data was collected using questionnaires from Mar. 21th to Apr. 8th, 2016. The work environment consisted of the workload( 3.37±0.65), self-actualization(3.26±0.54), nervousness(2.90±0.67) and conflict(2.74±0.62). The mean score of selfefficacy was 3.85±0.45 and the retention intention’s mean score was 3.39±0.75. These variables were measured by 5 point Likert scale. The retention intention was affected to satisfaction of clinical research project, CRN career, conflict, and self-efficacy(Adj R2=.223, F=10.670, p<.001). In order to increase the retention intention of CRN, we should make a work environment that can minimize conflict, improve satisfaction of clinical research project, and provide preferential measures to the research experienced person. Also, we need a strategy to increase the self-efficacy. |
