This study conducted a descriptive survey to analyze factors that influence turnover intention among married nurses. A total of 210 nurses working in small and medium sized hospitals. Collected data were from April 15 to 26, 2013. The tool developed by Mobley (1982) and modified/complemented by Kim (2007) was used to measure turnover intention. Job satisfaction was measured using a tool developed by Stamps et al.(1978) and modified for nurses by Bae (2007). A tool developed by Hall(1972) and modified/complemented by Kwak was used to analyze role conflict. Finally, the nursing practice environment was measured using a tool developed by Lake(2002) and modified/complemented by Kang Received(October 19, 2015), Review request(October 20, 2015), Review Result(1st: November 16, 2015, 2nd: December 23, 2015) Accepted(January 02, 2016), Published(January 31, 2016) 58245 Dept.

The results of this study show that job satisfaction, role conflict, and position are factors that influence the turnover intention of married nurses. Thus, in order to reduce the turnover rate of married nurses, the following measures are necessary. First, nurse administrators must improve the compensation system, which scored poorly in the job satisfaction category. Also, it is important to operate workplace child care facilities and introduce flexible working hours to reduce nurses’role conflicts as mothers. Furthermore, it is necessary to devise administrative improvements, such as the acquisition of sufficient human resources and system modifications, to allow married nurses to feel free to go on maternity or child care leave. also, married nurses commitment to the current work that could lead to the need to develop incentives can promote.

The effects of hydro co-extrusion on the microstructure changes of aluminum hybrid duo-cast Al 3003/Al 4004 clad materials were studied. The specimen of duo-cast Al 3003/Al 4004 clad materials was in circle shape, and was composed of Al 3003(outside) and Al 4004(inside) materials. The specimen was extruded by the hydro co-extrusion equipment. The manufacturing conditions of the specimen were 423 K in temperature and 5 in extrusion ratio. The dimensions of the specimen were 80 mm in diameter of the Al 4004 material and 35 mm in thickness of the Al 3003 material before the hydro co-extrusion process, and 30 mm in diameter and about 5 mm in thickness after the extrusion process, respectively. The microstructure and the hardness for two specimens were investigated. The hardness value of cross section in the duo-cast Al 3003/Al 4004 clad materials before the extrusion process was increased in form of the parabola toward the center. However, after the extrusion process, it was almost constant in the portion of Al 4004 material. Lots of big voids above 1 mm in diameter in the specimen existed in the interfacing region of Al 3003 and Al 4004 materials before the extrusion process. These big voids disappeared after the process of hydro co-extrusion.
