Literature suggests various reasons for and consequences of nursing shortage. This study consists of two main parts.

Secondly, an exploratory survey study is conducted to investigate the correlation between various job dissatisfaction factors and the intention of nursing staff to leave the Hong Kong public healthcare system.",
