Background: Patient safety culture is getting more attention from healthcare organizations worldwide, and Jordan is no exception. Nurses' satisfaction and retention are paramount to providing safe and high-quality patient care. Purpose: To investigate the relationship between patient safety culture and intent to leave among Jordanian nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 220 nurses was selected through convenience sampling from one governmental and one private hospital in Amman. The patient safety culture survey and anticipated turnover scale were used to collect data. Results: The findings showed that nurses had 49.2% positive scores for patient safety. Teamwork (65.3%) and handoff and exchange of information (62% each) had the highest scores, while staffing and work pace (38.1%) and response to error (26.6%) had the lowest. Moreover, nurses had strong intentions to leave their jobs (M = 3.98). A moderately significant but not highly negative relationship between patient safety culture and intent to leave (r = -0.32, p = 0.015) existed. Conclusions: There are opportunities to improve patient safety culture, satisfaction, and nurse retention in Jordanian hospitals by implementing several recommendations, such as ensuring better staffing patterns and increasing staff motivation by utilizing various available methods. |
