Area of Science:

  • Nursing Workforce Research
  • Organizational Psychology
  • Human Resources Management

Background:

  • While numerous studies address nurses' job dissatisfaction and turnover factors, research on generational differences in nurses' intention to leave is limited.
  • Understanding these generational variations is crucial for effective healthcare workforce planning and developing targeted retention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate generational differences in hospital nurses' intention to leave their jobs within the next year.
  • To identify specific reasons for intention to leave across different nurse age groups.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators 2018 Annual Registered Nurse Survey.
  • Employed descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
  • Analyzed a sample of 207,636 hospital nurses across the United States.

Main Results:

  • Overall, 21% of surveyed nurses reported an intention to leave their jobs.
  • Significant generational differences were observed in the intention to leave.
  • Reasons for leaving, including preventable factors, career advancement, and personal motivations, varied across generational cohorts.

Conclusions:

  • Generational factors significantly influence nurses' decisions to leave their positions.
  • Workload and staffing issues were commonly cited reasons for leaving across all generations, suggesting universally applicable retention interventions.
  • Tailoring retention strategies to specific generational needs and concerns may enhance workforce stability in nursing.
