Description
Bayan Alilyyani surveys nurses in Saudi Arabia in 2026 on whether emotional skill ties to plans to quit. Nurse shortages are a world worry, and intent to leave is a warning sign for hospitals and patients alike. The survey was a one-time online questionnaire using tested scales for emotional intelligence, job stress, and quitting intent.
Higher emotional scores went with lower stress and lower quitting intent, Alilyyani reports. Stress itself went with higher quitting intent. Part of the emotional skill effect ran through stress: calmer nurses wanted out less, which explains a slice of the direct link. Training that builds emotional skill might thus cut turnover twice, directly and by easing stress, though a one-time survey cannot prove cause.
