The turnover rate and patterns in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) were assessed and compared with adult Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and General Infant Care Units at the same hospitals for the year 1976. Thirty-five hospitals with NICUs participated in the study. The findings of this study disagree with the previous literature in three major ways: 1 The turnover rate of staff nurses was less than half that estimated by The National Commission on Nursing for 1970. 2 The turnover rates in ICUs and NICUs were not significantly higher than that for staff nurses in Non-Intensive Care Units. In addition, the pattern of turnover among leavers is identical for all three major types of unit. The variability pattern for neonatal units, however, is statistically significant; this is not so with the other units studied. 3 There is no evidence for a stabilization of turnover following the usual 'induction crisis period' (the first 3 to 6 months).
对新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）的人员更替率和模式进行了评估，并与同一年同一医院的成人重症监护病房（ICU）和普通婴儿护理病房进行了比较。35家设有新生儿重症监护病房的医院参与了该研究。这项研究的结果在三个主要方面与以往文献不同：1. 注册护士的人员更替率不到1970年全国护理委员会估计值的一半。2. 重症监护病房和新生儿重症监护病房的人员更替率并不显著高于非重症监护病房的注册护士。此外，所有三种主要类型病房离职人员的更替模式相同。然而，新生儿病房的变化模式具有统计学意义；其他研究的病房则并非如此。3. 没有证据表明在通常的“入职危机期”（最初3至6个月）之后人员更替会趋于稳定。
