ABSTRACT

Purpose@#The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of grit, emotional labor and organizational intimacy on nurses' intention to stay to work in comprehensive nursing care service units. @*Methods@#A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. Participants were 192 nurses working in comprehensive nursing care service units at a general hospital. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires, and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program for descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. @*Results@#Intention to stay was positively correlated with grit (r=.28, p=.002), opportunity of forming (r=.17, p=.022), and expansion of intimacy (r=.24, p=.001). The influencing factors on nurses' intention to stay in comprehensive nursing care service units were the work department (β=.23, p=.002) and grit (β=.21, p=.003). Grit and work department explained 13.0% of variances of nurses' intention to stay. @*Conclusion@#The results of this study suggest that nurse's grit plays an important role in continuing to work in a comprehensive nursing service unit. It is recommended to develop a program that includes strategies for improving grit.
