Nursing Department, Istanbul Ayd�n University Faculty of Health Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey

Aim: This study aims to analyse the relationship between nurses� turnover intentions working in pandemic hospitals and their trust in the manager.
Method: The designed as a descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 211 nurses working in a hospital located in Istanbul and providing intensive service during the outbreak process. As the data collection tools, the survey form about the descriptive information, the Trust in the Manager Sub-Scale of the Organisational Trust Scale, and the Turnover Intention Scale were utilised in the study. The data were analysed with descriptive statistical methods, Independent-Samples T-Test, the Pearson correlation test, and simple linear regression analysis.
Results: It was found that, of the participant nurses, 37.4% were aged 18-25 years, 82.5% were female, 57.8% were single, 63.3% had a bachelor�s degree, and 16.6% worked in the services where patients with coronavirus are hospitalized. It was discerned that the means of scores obtained by the participant nurses from the Trust in the Manager Sub-Scale and the Turnover Intention Scale were 3,77�1,45 (1-6) and 7,11�3,40 (3-15). It was ascertained that there was a weak negative relationship between the trust in the manager and turnover intentions (r=-0.18, p=0.006).
Conclusion: The study found that, as the trust felt by the nurses towards the manager increased, there was a decrease in nurses� turnover intentions, although it was a small decrease. To reduce nurses� intentions to leave their jobs during the pandemic, the managing nurses should create a trusting environment by exhibiting a positive and supportive attitude.

Y�ntem: Tan�mlay�c� ve ili�ki aray�c� nitelikteki �al��ma, �stanbul ilinde yer alan ve salg�n s�recinde yo�un hizmet veren bir hastanede �al��makta olan 211 hem�ire ile y�r�t�lm��t�r. Ara�t�rmada, tan�mlay�c� bilgilere ili�kin �Anket Formu�, ��rg�tsel G�ven �l�e�inin Y�neticiye G�ven Alt Boyutu� ve ��ten Ayr�lma Niyeti �l�e�i� kullan�lm��t�r. Veriler, tan�mlay�c� istatistiksel y�ntemler, ba��ms�z gruplar t testi, Pearson korelasyonu ve basit do�rusal regresyon analizi ile de�erlendirilmi�tir.
Bulgular: �al��maya kat�lan hem�irelerin %37,4�� 18-25 ya� aral��nda, %82,5�i kad�n, %57,8�inin bekar, %63,3��n�n lisans mezunu oldu�u ve %16,6�s�n�n Korana vir�se yakalanan hastalar�n yat�r�ld�� servislerinde �al��t�� belirlenmi�tir.

Y�neticiye g�ven ile i�ten ayr�lma niyeti aras�nda ters y�nde zay�f d�zeyde bir ili�ki (r=-0,18, p=0,006) saptanm��t�r. Yap�lan basit do�rusal regresyon analizine g�re hem�irelerde y�neticiye duyulan g�ven, i�ten ayr�lma niyetinin yakla��k olarak %3��n� a��klamaktad�r (F=7,613 ve p=0,006).
Sonu�: Bu �al��mada, hem�irelerde y�neticiye duyulan g�ven art�k�a i�ten ayr�lma niyetinin az da olsa azald�� belirlenmi�tir. Salg�n s�recinde hem�irelerin i�ten ayr�lma niyetini azaltmak i�in y�netici hem�irelerin olumlu ve destekleyici bir tutum sergileyerek g�ven ortam� olu�turmalar� gerekmektedir.
