Key Points

The study aimed to identify resilience, communication competence, and work environment factors that influence nursing workforce sustainability, using job satisfaction as a key indicator.
Descriptive cross-sectional survey of 145 NICU nurses from three tertiary and three general hospitals in South Korea.
Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analyses.
Job satisfaction correlated positively with resilience (r = 0.67, p < 0.001), communication competence (r = 0.52, p < 0.001), and nursing work environment (r = 0.57, p < 0.001).
Multiple regression analysis identified resilience (β = 0.43, p < 0.001) and nursing work environment (β = 0.30, p < 0.001) as significant predictors of job satisfaction.
