When Leadership Drives Nurses Away: Empirical Research Qualitative on High Turnover Rates Reasons.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThis study aimed to investigate the reasons that affect nurses' decisions to leave their setting. Nurse turnover impacts organisational costs, organisational stability, and quality of care. The role of nurse leaders' practices in nurse turnover remains underexplored.
designDescriptive phenomenological design was used in the current study.
methodGiorgi's phenomenological method was used to explore the staff nurses' lived experiences and perceptions of turnover. The data was collected from semi-structured interviews with nurses who had left their current positions, moved to another organisation, changed professions, or retired.
resultsFive themes emerged from the analysis: (1) poor communication, (2) a lack of leader support, (3) workloads and staffing issues, (4) a lack of professional development opportunities, and (5) inconsistent policies and leadership.
conclusionNurse leaders and administration play a critical role in driving nurses to stay or to leave the healthcare organisation by providing different and important practices and behaviours. Reducing the nursing turnover rate can create a more stable environment and enhance nurse satisfaction, which leads to better patient care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING ADMINISTRATION: Nursing administration must create supportive workplace environments by enhancing leadership practices to reduce the nursing turnover rates, especially among new graduate nurses. IMPACT: The current study addresses the nurse turnover issue, with a particular focus on the role of nurse leaders' practices in nurse turnover. High nursing turnover rates impact organisational costs, organisational stability, and quality of care. This study will have a significant impact on nursing leadership, healthcare administration and policymakers. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No Patient or Public Contribution.
