Abstract: The current nursing shortage and high job turnover among nurses worldwide are still of great concern for nations because of their impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare delivery system and their impact on global health goals. This systematic review was based on 33 scientific articles published between 2016 and 2020 in the core Web of Science database. Among the 33 papers selected, 12 were conducted in China, and 21 were carried out outside China. The purpose was to identify the similarities between the determinant of turnover intention among Chinese nurses and nurses working in healthcare institutions in other countries in the world. For each included study, the country, purpose, methods, and key findings were the relevant aspects considered for the analysis. The results revealed that the factors affecting turnover intention are common in China and other parts of the world. These factors include job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job stress, workload, burnout, management style, demographic characteristics, work environment, and other organizational factors. This research confirms that turnover intention is a global issue that needs to be addressed efficiently to limit the continuous effects on people’s health.
