Turnover Intentions of Nurses in Lucknow District Hospitals: A Socio-Demographic Perspective and Perception-Based Study

Abstract

This paper aims to study the turnover intentions among nurses in Lucknow district hospitals through a comprehensive analysis of socio-statistics characteristics and perceptual assessments. A research questionnaire is used to gather primary data from 375 working nurses. The data is then evaluated to determine the demographics of the participants, including gender, age, marital status, level of education, and hospital type. A turnover intention scale is also used to evaluate nurses' opinions of their current work environment and inclination to look for new chances. The results demonstrate the diversity of the nursing workforce, the majority of nurses (71%) are female, hold a BSc or GNM degree, and are married. This study emphasizes how critical it is to address underlying unhappiness and unfulfilled demands in the nursing field to improve job satisfaction and retention. Moreover, it emphasizes the need of customized interventions to help nurses in emergency situations and raise the standard of patient care in Lucknow district hospitals in general.
