ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the status quo of job enbeddedness and intent to stay among the clinical specialist nurses and to explore the correlation between them. Method A total of 200 clinical specialist nurses participated in the investigation by means of general nurses' questionnaire, job embeddedness scale and intent to stay scale. Results The score of job embeddedness was (3.40 ± 0.46), the dimension of community association scored highest (3.68 ±0.67), the dimension of organization sacrifice the lowest (3.12±0.53) and the intent stay (3.69 ± 0.80). There was a positive correlation between job placement and intent to stay as well as its dimensions of community matching, organization sacrifice (P <0.05 or P <0.01). Community matching served as a major factor in predicting the intent of a specialist nurse. Conclusion Nursing managers should pay attention to the needs of specialist nurses and take relevant measures to improve the job embeddednee level of specialist nurses and thus improve their intent to stay as well.
