Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Nursing Work Environment

Will be measured using the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI). The scale uses 31 items on a 4-point Likert scale to measure the supportiveness of the nursing work environment. Higher scores indicate a better work environment.

Time frame

Baseline (T0), immediately post-intervention (T1), and 3 months post-intervention (T2).

Secondary outcomes

Turnover Intentions

Measured using the Anticipated Turnover Scale (ATS). This uses 12 items on a 7-point Likert scale to assess staff perception of the possibility of voluntarily quitting. Scores range from 1 (low turnover intention) to 7 (high turnover intention).

Time frame

Baseline (T0), immediately post-intervention (T1), and 3 months post-intervention (T2).
