Purpose: This study examined the associations of parenting stress, work-family conflict, and job involvement with retention intention among married nurses working in shifts while raising preschool-aged children. Methods: A total of 150 married nurses raising children aged five years or younger participated in the study. Structured questionnaires were used to measure parenting stress, work-family conflict, job involvement, and retention intention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA with Scheffe? post hoc tests, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Parenting stress was positively correlated with work-family conflict (r=.60, p<.001), while work-family conflict was negatively correlated with retention intention (r=-.25, p=.002). Job involvement was positively associated with retention intention (r=.35, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that job satisfaction (β=.44, p=.013) and job involvement (β=.26, p=.002) significantly predicted retention intention. Conclusion: Improving job satisfaction and job involvement is essential for enhancing retention among married nurses. Institutional efforts to support work-life balance and provide professional development opportunities may foster long-term workforce stability.
