本研究之目的在探討台灣地區醫院護理人員留任措施現況及其對工作滿意與留任意願間之相關性。針對民國85至87年度醫院評鑑合格之地區及區域醫院之護理人員，以等機率多層次抽樣法選取20所醫院中之471位任職2年以上之護理人員，以結構式問卷收集資料，並以無母數相關性檢定及邏輯式回歸統計進行分析。結果顯示護理人員對A衛生署獎勵地區及區域醫院護理人員留任措施B多持正面性的評價；參與補助醫院護理人員之工作滿意度與留任意願均高於未參與者；三者之間具正相關。研究結果可供醫院行政與護理主管們謀求護理人力之穩定性，以提昇護理品質並降低醫院經營成本之參考。

　　　　　The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of current nursing retention programs in hospitals in Taiwan and the relationships between job satisfaction and intention to stay. A proportional multi-stratified random sampling technique was used to recruit nurses who were working in accredited district and regional hospitals in the years 1996 to 1998. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 471 nurses with 2 years of nursing experience, and analyzed by non-parametric and logistic regression. The results showed that a majority of the respondents positively recognized the importance of the DOH retention policy and were satisfied with its implementation. Nurses whose working hospital had a retention program had higher job satisfaction and intention to stay than those without a retention program. Based on the findings, nursing and hospital administrators could develop retrievable data gathered during an ongoing organizational retention policy and develop strategic planning for stabilizing their clinical nursing workforce.
