Nurses' Turnover Intentions in Private Hospitals: A Narrative Study

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the problems often faced by nurses with a holistic approach to identifying the main motivations or reasons why nursing staff intends to move from the hospital where they work. Methods: This research was conducted by using a qualitative method with a narrative study approach using semi-structured interviews where one participant will be given guideline questions and 8 responsive assessments that will be given to respondents where the assessment has previously gone through the expert test stage. Results: Organizational policies (job design and compensation), leadership style, and work environment significantly influenced the level of nurses' turnover intentions in hospitals. Conclusion: Hospital management should provide excellent service to employees, especially nurses in terms of work appreciation in the form of compensation (reward), preparing competent leaders, and creating a comfortable and safe work environment so that nurses feel at home in carrying out their duties at the hospital.
