Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship among conscience perception, conscience stress, and turnover intention in intensive care nurses. Materials and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted among intensive care nurses (n=180) in İstanbul. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, independent-samples t-tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s post hoc test where appropriate and, hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the intensive care nurses participating in the study was 26.01 ± 3.17 years, and their mean professional experience was 3.16 ± 2.54 years. Conscience perception was significantly higher among nurses working day shifts, those who chose the profession willingly, and those who were satisfied with their jobs. Turnover intention scores were significantly higher in nurses who did not choose the profession willingly and those who were dissatisfied with their jobs. According to the hierarchical regression analysis, job dissatisfaction was the strongest predictor of turnover intention, while an increase in conscience stress also significantly increased turnover intention. Conclusion: The findings indicate that conscience perception and conscience stress are significantly associated with turnover intention among intensive care nurses, highlighting the importance of addressing ethical and organizational factors to support nurse retention. Keywords: Intensive care nurses, Conscience, Stress of conscience, Intention to leave, nursing
