A large and growing population of elderly Koreans with chronic conditions necessitates an increase in long-term care. This study is aimed at investigating the effects of occupational stress, work-centrality, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction on intent to leave among long-term care workers in Korea. We tested the hypothesized structural equation model predicting the intention to quit among long-term care workers in Korea. Survey data were collected from 532 long-term care workers in Seoul, Korea. Results showed that occupational stress was positively associated with intention to leave the job. The study also identified several possible mediators (self-efficacy, work-centrality, job satisfaction) in the relationship between stress and intent to quit. Evidence-based stress management interventions are suggested to help the workers better cope with stressors. Mentoring programs should also be considered for new workers.
大量且不断增长的患有慢性病的韩国老年人需要增加长期护理服务。本研究旨在调查职业压力、工作中心性、自我效能感和工作满意度对韩国长期护理工作者离职意愿的影响。我们对预测韩国长期护理工作者离职意愿的假设结构方程模型进行了检验。调查数据收集自韩国首尔的532名长期护理工作者。结果表明，职业压力与离职意愿呈正相关。该研究还确定了压力与离职意愿之间关系中的几个可能的中介因素（自我效能感、工作中心性、工作满意度）。建议采取基于证据的压力管理干预措施，以帮助工作者更好地应对压力源。对于新员工，也应考虑实施指导计划。
