Abstract

Abstract: Reducing the turnover intention among general practitioners（GPs） and strengthening the construction of GPs workforce are the key links to improve the development of primary healthcare system and hierarchical medical system to maintain and improve people's health，and achieve the goals of Healthy China. Considering global shortage of primary healthcare and China's increasing emphasis on both general medicine and GPs，we discussed the role of GPs in primary healthcare，and systematically analyzed the significance of reducing GPs turnover intention，and comprehensive summarized the key factors associated with turnover intention among GPs，including demographic characteristics，job satisfaction，organizational identity，salary and work enthusiasm，then put forward some advice on dealing with turnover intention among domestic GPs，which may provide effective evidence for related departments to formulate policies and measures to stabilize GPs team，and to improve the attractiveness of GPs as an occupation.
