Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to explore reorganizing the work life in experienced nurses with turnover intention.
Methods: A qualitative research method was adopted for the study. The participants were five experienced nurses who had served for five years or more at three general hospitals. The data were collected from iterative work through in-depth interviews and observations and analyzed using Giorgi’s phenomenological approach. Field notes and research notes were used with follow-up interviews and dialog between the authors to enhance the validation.
Results: The participants experienced early and late transitions within a dual structure of frustration and hope, dependence and independence, and activity and passivity. Four common constituents emerged and early transition included retrospection on threshold and reality assessments. Late transition included promoting a balance and growing up.
Conclusion: The efforts of the participants to cope with the turnover intention were mainly on an individual level, and these experiences varied from the novice stage to the career stage. Therefore, intervention programs should be developed based on an effective support system and a practical curriculum for each stage of the nurses’ careers at the institutional level so that they can successfully transition to a working environment and securely root in the nursing profession.
