Methods: Across-sectional survey was done with the participation of 195 nurses working at 23 geriatric hospitals in B city ofGyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Data were collected from January 19 to 25, 2018 using structured questionnaires andwere analyzed using SPSS/WIN program.
Results: The geriatric hospital nurses’ scores for nursing professionalism,organizational communication, and intent to stay were relatively lower than those of general hospital nurses. Eachof these three variables was differently perceived according to participants’ general characteristics but there wasa positive correlation between them. The factors influencing intent to stay were organizational communication, ageand through newspapers/advertising (one of motivations for working at geriatric hospitals). These three variablesexplained 47% of intent to stay.
Conclusion: To increase intent to stay in geriatric hospital nurses, nursing or hospitalmanagers must develop and apply programs that help improve nurses’ professionalism and organizationalcommunication.
