The Relationship Between Resilience and the Intention to Leave Among Staff Nurses at Governmental Hospitals in the Al-Baha Region of Saudi Arabia.

Background Nurses with high intent to leave can cause substantial problems for healthcare organizations, such as staffing shortages and higher expenses due to hiring and onboarding new nurses. In light of the increasing demands placed on nurses in understaffed and overloaded healthcare systems, nurses frequently face various pressures and difficulties in their field of work, including high workloads, irregular hours, complicated patients, and infectious disease exposure; resilience is critical for handling stress and hardship at work. Nurses will thus retain their jobs for longer.
