Reasons for the Intention to Leave among Nurses Working in Internal Medicine and Surgery Departments of Slovenian Hospitals – A Cross Sectional Study
Our study highlights the role of hospital management and leadership as an important factor in nurse retention. The most critical group showing the intention to leave the hospital are the younger employees. There is therefore a need to design strategies for their adequate introduction to work and to implement professional development in nursing in accordance with international recommendations.
