The average scores for job stress, burnout, and turnover intention were 3.83, 2.92, and 3.12, respectively (range: 1-5). Nurses' turnover intention had positive relationships with job stress (r=.356, p<.001) and burnout (r=.729, p<.001). The major factor influencing turnover intention was burnout (${\beta}=.729$), which explained 53% of the intention. In conclusion, intervention programs should be developed to reduce burnout, the key influencing factor, for decreasing nurses' turnover intention.
