Abstract

Moral distress is one of ICU nurses' major problems that can happen due to various reasons and may have several consequences. Considering that certain variables can be related to moral distress and turnover intention in nurses, this study was done to determine the correlation between ICU nurses' demographic characteristics and their moral distress and turnover. In this correlational study, 159 ICU nurses were selected from medical universities of Iran. Data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, ICU nurses' moral distress scale, and Hinshaw and Atwood's turnover scale. Data analysis was done by using SPSS 17. The findings showed high level of moral distress and turnover in ICU nurses. The results revealed a positive statistical correlation among ICU nurses' age, their work experience, the ratio of nurses to ICU beds and their moral distress. However, there was no correlation among sex, marital status, educational degree, work shift and moral distress. Similarly, moral distress and intent to turnover did not have a statistical correlation.The results showed that increasing recruitment of young nurses and nursing staff, and diminishing ICU nurses' moral distress and turnover intention are essential.

Abstract
Turnover and moral distress are considered as one of the challenges in health care systems. Nursing leaders are one of the factors influencing the thoughts and behaviors of nurses in organizational environments. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between ethical leadership, moral distress and the turnover intention of nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2019-2020. The research method was descriptive-correlation. A total of 130 participants were enrolled by stratified sampling method from 3 hospitals. Data were collected using demographic information questionnaires, Ethical Leadership in Nursing, moral distress, and turnover intention. Then data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS software version 16. The results showed that ethical leadership and all its components were at the desired level. Also, moral distress and intention to leave were moderate. There was a significant negative correlation between ethical leadership and all its dimensions with the turnover intention and moral distress. Also, there was a significant positive correlation between the variables of turnover intention and the moral distress. Therefore, considering the significant relationship between ethical leadership, moral distress, and the turnover, by adopting this type of leadership approach by nursing managers, moral distress and the turnover intention among nurses can be reduced.
