Work stressors and intention to leave among nurses in isolation nursing units during COVID-19: a cross-sectional study
In COVID-19 isolation units, Jordanian nurses' work stresses were positively correlated with their intention to leave. Lower-educated and single nurses were more stressed and likely to leave. Based on the findings, targeted stress-reduction programs are needed. Nursing retention and healthcare system sustainability amid public health emergencies depend on supportive, well-resourced workplaces.
