BackgroundTurnover intention is a frequent event in almost all institutions and is associated with unfavourable consequences for employees. AimThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between occupational stress, quality of working life and turnover intention amongst nurses working in critical care units in Iran. DesignA cross-sectional survey design was used. MethodThe study was conducted in the critical care units of 10 hospitals in Tabriz, Iran, between July and November 2017 using a sample of 203 nurses. Data were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire, and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors impacting turnover intention. ResultsOverall, 64% of nurses had an intention to leave their job; 82.8% of respondents reported their job to be highly stressful, and 81.2% reported their quality of working life to be low. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that age (p = 0.006), clinical experience (p = 0.005), duty stressors (p = 0.040), interpersonal relations stressors, (p = 0.029) communication (p = 0.007), motivation (p = 0.006), job security (p = 0.040) and job pride (p = 0.011) were factors affecting turnover intention. ConclusionOccupational stress and quality of working life are associated with turnover intention amongst nurses working in critical care units. Further research is needed to determine the generalizability of these results to other settings and countries and to identify interventions that could reduce occupational stress and improve the quality of working life so that turnover intention might be reduced. Relevance to clinical practiceThe findings of this research suggest that lower perceived occupational stress and higher quality of working life will result in less reported turnover intention in critical care unit nurses.
