By examining demographic variables, further exploration of the correlations among different attributes such as units, age, and positions (e.g., clinical nurses, nursing supervisors, specialist nurses) can be conducted. Through the research findings, the current status and needs of clinical nursing can be understood.
2. The results of this study will enable clinical nursing units in the future to implement measures to improve the psychological capital and address turnover intentions of nursing personnel from different generations and positions. Based on this objective and concrete data, relevant courses or training programs can be developed to retain excellent clinical nursing personnel.
