Abstract: BackgroundNurses’ intention to leave their profession is a worldwide concern. Studies have shown that it can take the form of a chain reaction: many nurses first leave the unit, then the hospital, and finally the profession. Organisation and other labour factors, personal and conjunctural, have been associated with the intention to quit nursing. This study aimed to examine the factors associated with the intention to leave the profession among registered nurses (RNs) at large public hospitals in Brazil.Methods… Show more

“…Turnover intention significantly increased when weekly working hours exceeded 40 hr; it increased as working hours increased in the final step of hierarchical multiple regression analysis as well. These findings are similar to those of other studies (Kwon & Kim, ; de Oliveira et al, ). Our study also showed that participants’ number of weeks working over 40‐hr was 27.9%, and 4.4% of which involved working more than 52 hr a week.…”

“…The findings of this study show that turnover intention of nurses working in small‐ and medium‐sized hospitals is associated with working over contracted work hours, nurse‐unfriendly night schedules and dissatisfaction with the rewards. Overtime work and night work are commonly known as the reasons nurses leave their job (Van Dam et al, ; Kwon & Kim, ; de Oliveira et al, ). However, they were not the strongest predictors of the intention to leave for these nurses.…”

“…Perhaps these different patterns of association may be due to cultural perspectives on work and work‐life balance. Poorer physical health has been shown to increase the likelihood of people leaving the workforce (De Oliveira, Griep, Portela, & Rotenberg, ), but this association between PCS and intention to leave was not seen in this study. Further work is required to identify characteristics which mediate or moderate these relationships.…”

“…Nurses were asked to rate their health status using a 5‐point Likert scale: very poor – 1, poor – 2, fair – 3, good – 4, and very good – 5 (de Oliveira, Griep, Portela, & Rotenberg, ). Having medical liability insurance coverage offered by nurses’ hospitals could be answered with a ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘uncertain’ response.…”
