Description
Bany Ateah and colleagues surveyed nurses at a military hospital in Saudi Arabia about what keeps them in their jobs, in a 2026 cross-sectional study. Nurse turnover drains expertise and continuity of care worldwide. The team collected online questionnaires over three months in 2025 covering personal background, perceived career growth, and intention to leave.
Bany Ateah received 350 completed surveys, a response rate above ninety percent. Most nurses viewed their career growth positively, reporting better emotional control, growing competence, and rising professional prestige, with promotions seen as timely. Intention to leave was low: about two thirds strongly rejected the idea of quitting. Career growth and turnover intention were strongly linked in opposite directions, so nurses who saw their careers advancing wanted to leave far less. the authors say makes career development a practical retention lever for military hospitals.
