“…In the present study, the bed-to-nurse ratio consistently appeared to be a risk factor for turnover across all retention periods grouped into 6-month intervals.

Hospitals with a bed-to-nurse ratio of 3.5 or higher are technically in violation of the 5-to-2 patient-to-nurse ratio stipulated by Korean medical law [ 29 ], which means that 38.5% of the hospitals in this study did not comply with the minimum legal staffing requirement.…”

The organizational variables of hospitals that were selected were hospital location, hospital ownership, bed-to-nurse ratio, and standardized monthly income [ 12 , 17 , 21 , 22 ], whereas gender and age were selected to be the individual variables of nurses [ 12 , 22 ]. Sub-variables for hospital location were Seoul, metropolitan cities, and medium-sized and small cities, and the sub-variables for hospital ownership were public sector, educational foundation, medical or other corporation, and for-profit medical institutions.…”

“…Environmental changes require specialized nursing care, which certainly demands a stable supply and retention of nursing personnel. However, the working environment for nurses in South Korea, entailing long work hours without paid overtime and a hierarchical organizational culture, has resulted in high turnover and resignation rates amongst nurses (Seo et al, 2020).…”

“…High turnover or resignation rates among nurses in their 20s and 30s in South Korea negatively affect the stable supply of nursing staff, quality of nursing care, and patients' satisfaction with nursing care, which may lower the long-term occupational value of nursing (Seo et al, 2020). Therefore, increasing nurses' occupational retention rate will positively influence nurses and patients and the medical environment.…”
