About this study
Based on a survey conducted by the Nursing and Health Care Bureau of the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2023, which investigated the recruitment and turnover rates of nursing personnel in 479 hospitals of different levels, the results revealed that the recruitment of nursing personnel was exceedingly challenging. The difficulty levels varied, with medical centers at 80%, regional hospitals at 67.9%, and district hospitals at 43.37%. Additionally, the turnover rates of nursing personnel were notably high, with medical centers at 10.21%, regional hospitals at 11.17%, and district hospitals at 14.52%. These rates all exceeded 10%, which means that, on average, one out of every ten nursing personnel resigned (Nursing and Health Care Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2023).
This study aims to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and retention intention among emergency room nursing personnel in a regional teaching hospital in Yunlin County. In the fiscal year 2023, the unit experienced an alarming turnover rate of approximately 82% among newly hired personnel. Therefore, the study intends to conduct further research and exploration into the job satisfaction and retention intention of emergency room nursing personnel.
