Abstract
AIM: Toexamine the mediating role of transition shock on the relationships between resilience, social support, work environment and turnover intention in newly graduated nurses. BACKGROUND: Reportsassessing the associations betweennurses'resilience, social support, work environment and turnover intention, both directly and through the mediating effect oftransition shock are scarce. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study, which recruited361Chinese newly graduated nurses with < 1 year of work experience. RESULTS: Resilience, social support and work environment directlyandsignificantly predicted transition shock (direct effect -0.158 to -0.350, P< 0.01). Resilience, work environment and transition shock directly and significantly affected turnover intention (direct effect -0.118 to -0.257, P< 0.05). Transition shockmediated the relationships between resilience, social support, work environment and turnover intention indirectly andsignificantly (indirect effect -0.019 to -0.041, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that nurse managers could enhance resilience and social support,and establish a positive work environment to reduce transition shock and turnover intention. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers couldcontinuouslyprovideresilience training, and develop a supportive workplace climate for newly graduated nurses to facilitate smooth transition into clinical practice, alleviatetheir transition shock and turnover intention.
