Turnover intention and related factors among general practitioners in Hubei, China: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:High turnover among general practitioners (GPs) is a significant challenge in China's efforts to build a sustainable, effective primary care system, but little data is available to help understand and address this issue.

A generalized linear regression model was used to identify the associated factors with turnover intention among GPs. RESULTS:Based on a full score of 24, the average score for GPs' turnover intent
