Factors Influencing Nurse Intent to Leave Acute Care Hospitals: A Systematic Literature Review
J Nurs Adm.
.
Abstract
Professional nurses are leaving their current positions in acute care hospitals and, in some cases, the profession in greater numbers than ever. Nurse leaders must understand factors surrounding nurses' intent to leave to develop strategies to mitigate this phenomenon and retain nurses. This review of the literature seeks to synthesize studies on nurses' intent to leave. Themes include job satisfaction, resources and staffing impacting workloads, leadership, and burnout.
