With over 50% of the nurses in this study intending to quit their jobs, it would be incumbent on nurse managers and other leaders at these health facilities to reconsider the work environment, policies, and leadership to prevent actual voluntary turnover. Managers must also fashion pragmatic strategies aimed at reducing stress and promoting the health and well-being of the nurses.

Abstract

With over 50% of the nurses in this study intending to quit their jobs, it would be incumbent on nurse managers and other leaders at these health facilities to reconsider the work environment, policies, and leadership to prevent actual voluntary turnover. Managers must also fashion pragmatic strategies aimed at reducing stress and promoting the health and well-being of the nurses.
