Work stressors and intention to leave among nurses in isolation nursing units during COVID-19: a cross-sectional study - BMC Nursing
Briefly

This study explores the impact of work stressors on Jordanian nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those in isolation units. It identifies how fear of infection, heavy workloads, and lack of support heightened stress levels, leading to a marked intention to leave the profession. With 154 nurses surveyed, findings showed that a substantial majority reported increased stress and a notable inclination to resign. The research suggests a direct relationship between the stresses faced and the propensity to leave the job, underlining the need for programs aimed at stress reduction and better workplace support.
In COVID-19 isolation units, Jordanian nurses experienced heightened work stresses, significantly influencing their intention to leave, necessitating targeted stress-reduction initiatives for retention.
A total of 154 nurses participated, averaging 29.59 years of age; a striking 85.7% reported considerable stress levels, indicating urgency for improved support mechanisms.
