ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the relationship among parenting stress, the spouse’s involvement in parenting and the turnover intention of married nurses who have children under school age in small-medium sized hospitals, and to find a way to reduce the turnover intention of the nurses, so that nursing resources can be effectively managed. The survey questionnaires were handed out to and collected from 178 nurses who voluntarily agreed to participate in this study. A descriptive statistic, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, a Scheffe’s test, a Pearson’s correlation coefficient, a path analysis and a multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the collected data. In conclusion, the findings of this study showed that the turnover intention of married nurses positively correlated with their parenting stress, but negatively correlated with their spouse’s involvement in parenting. In other words, it was confirmed that the reduced level of parenting stress and the higher spouse involvement in parenting could lead to a reduced level of turnover intention. Therefore, various and systematic strategies to improve the parenting stress and promote the spouse’s involvement in parenting should be developed, so that the turnover intention of married nurses can be reduced.
