Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of psychosocial distress, intention to quit and nursing performance.
Methods: The data were collected through structured questionnaires from 210 registered nurses in a general hospital. They were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, scheffe test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression with the SPSS WIN program.
Results: The results of the analysis showed that the mean of the psychosocial distress was 25.38±7.26, intention to quit was 3.51±0.78, and nursing performance was 3.67±0.46. In the correlation analysis, the nursing performance had negative correlation with psychosocial distress(r=-.371, p=.000) and intention to quit(r=-.211, p=.002). There were statistically significant differences in nursing performance depending on age, marital status, position and work experience. The psychosocial distress and age explained 15.1% of nursing performance.
Conclusion: This study showed psychosocial distress and intention to quit affects the nursing performance. Therefore, nursing executives and unit managers need to concern on the significance of the stress management programs so that these can be organizational support.
