Abstract

Background: Critical care nurses face numerous challenges, including increased anxiety, depression, and traumatic incidents. Workplace stress can lead to Burnout and turnover, with a significant percentage of global hospital nurses planning to leave within a year. Resilience and positive attitudes towards mental health are crucial for nurses, as they serve as societal leaders. In Oman, many nurses plan to leave their current jobs within a year, highlighting the need for healthcare organizations to create measures to avoid stressors and foster worker well-being.

Aim: To examine the relationship between turnover and resilience among critical care nurses in Oman.

Method: This study used a cross-sectional design with convenience sampling. One hundred eighty-three participants completed the study questionnaires, including the Turnover Intention Scale and the Rushton Moral Resilience Scale, distributed between December 2023 and January 2024.

Results: The study found that the mean turnover and resilience scores were 15.0710 (SD= 2.40886) and 37.6230 (SD= 5.32617), respectively. Most of the participants exhibited a moderate level of turnover and resilience. The results indicated that a higher degree of resilience was negatively and significantly associated with turnover experience (P = .001). Resilience explained 5.2% of the variation in turnover.

Conclusion: The study indicated a significant link between resilience and turnover among critical care nurses. Nurses who had experienced more resilience had a lower incredible turnover. High turnover rates can be attributed to workplace stress, lack of professional growth opportunities, and insufficient recognition. Initiatives like the Ejada system and promoting resilience through supportive work environments and cultural factors can help. Prioritizing communication, feedback, and support for resilient nurses can enhance work satisfaction and improve healthcare standards.
