The relationships among perceived stress, resilience, sleep quality and first-month retention of newly employed nurses: A cross-sectional survey.

The initial perceived stress, resilience, and sleep quality of the newly employed nurses were not correlated with the first-month retention rate. Forty-four per cent of the newly recruited nurses had sleep disorders. Resilience, sleep quality, and perceived stress of newly employed nurses were significantly correlated. Newly employed nurses assigned to their desired wards had lower perceived stress than their peers.
