The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence the turnover intention of visiting nurses in community health centers based on ecosystem model. Participants of this study involved 134 visiting nurses at five community health centers in S city. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS program through t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients and hierarchial multiple regression. Frame of the study is based on ecosystem model for nurses turnover intention. The study classified individual factor into general characteristics and ego-resilience, microsystem factor into family support and clinical performance ability, mesosystem factor into peer support, macrosystem factor into communication level with departments. The study found that peer support as a mesosystem factor, and communication level with departments as a macrosystem factor affect the turnover intention of the visiting nurse. Based on these results, it is suggested that policy should be made to strengthen social support, including peer support, and to ensure efficient communication between departments during the visiting nurse working environment. |
