The research was conducted to determine and explaining voluntary nurses’ turnover. This was made possible through the analysis of the role of job satisfaction, work engagement in healthcare facilities, agentic capacities, and self-efficacy. The research also studies the relationship between these variables and patients satisfaction. Based on the literature that was discussed, the researchers formulated three hypotheses. The first hypothesis was that job satisfaction has a greater/stronger negative association with an intention for turnover compared to the other variables (Kim, & Kang, 2013). The second hypothesis was that self-efficacy, agentic capacities, work engagement, and job satisfaction were related positively and negatively correlated with turnover intentions. The last hypothesis was that work engagement, self-efficacy, and agentic capacities have a positive effect on job satisfaction and each of the three variables exerts a negative impact on turnoverintention (De Simone, Planta, & Cicotto, 2018). From research result, there is yet another hypothesis. The hypothesis will be tested after the results are available. It states that patient satisfaction will be positively associated with the nurses’ job satisfaction, agentic capacities, work engagement, and self-efficacy and negatively associated with nurses’ turnover intentions (Agarwal et al., 2012).

The title of the research article is comprehensive and covers everything that should be covered in the whole article. There is an accurate description of the article because the research is talking about nurses’ turnover intentions and what/how the variables provided affect patient satisfaction. At the start of the article, there is the provision of a brief and well-detailed abstract which represents the whole article. A background, objectives of the research, setting and participants, results, and conclusion are provided. Few things are left out in the abstract, and they include research methods, data analysis, and implications aren’t provided. It would have been prudent to provide these in brief so that someone reading the abstract can capture the whole research in just a few lines (Bauce, & Fitzpatrick, 2018). The introduction is a masterpiece because it has provided the purpose of conducting the research and how it will be conducted from theoretical framework to the conclusion and implication. The purpose is well explained and someone reading the article can follow. The intention for nurses’ turnover and patient turnover as the statement of the problem are well introduced. Instead of research questions three hypotheses from literature and one from the results are provided. The hypotheses are self-explanatory and using them can guide one on the intentions of the research (Bauce, & Fitzpatrick, 2018). They are the ones being tested using the data from the research itself.

Descriptive analysis, mean and standard deviation, was used to analyze socio-demographic data of the participants. Association between the research variables and turnover intention were verified using Pearson’s correlation….Additionally, they are significant to the field of nursing (Phillips, 2014). Limitations were presented in the research article, and the good thing is that the researchers provided possible solutions to them in case further research is done. Lastly, the conclusion is concrete because it sums the research and provides implication in both nursing and practically to healthcare services. For instance, they state that health management should consider job satisfaction to increase turnover and retention of nurses (Phillips, 2014). There is also provision for future research.
