Abstract

The intention to stay in nursing staff working with adult patients in a hospital setting is a major concern for healthcare organizations because of its effect on patient health outcomes. Grounded in the social cognitive career theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to investigate resilience as a moderating factor in the relationship between burnout and intention to stay for licensed registered nurses with BSN degrees working with adults in a hospital setting. The participants were 80 licensed registered nurses with BSN degrees working with adults in a hospital setting in the United States of America. The results of the multiple linear regression were significant, F(2,79) = 79.462, p < .001, R2 = .665. In the final model, resilience (t = 12.503, p < .05) was significant, while burnout was not significant. A key recommendation for nursing leaders is to develop resources for stress management in nursing staff. The implications for positive social change include the potential to enhance overall patient outcomes.
