Relationships Between Nurses' Personal and Professional Characteristics and Career Decision Regret, Occupational Stress and Turnover Intention: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of nursing practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimsThis study aimed to (a) examine the relationship between perceived career decision regret and turnover intention among nurses and (b) explore the mediating role of occupational stress and career decision regret in this relationship within the context of hospital-based nursing practice.
designA descriptive cross-sectional study.
methodsData were collected between 1 November 2023 and 20 February 2024, from a final sample of 512 nurses employed across various hospital settings in Türkiye. Standardized questionnaires measured career decision regret, occupational stress and turnover intention. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethics committee, and informed consent was obtained from all participants. Group comparisons were performed using independent samples t tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Pearson correlation analysis assessed relationships between continuous variables. The mediating effect of occupational stress was evaluated using the bootstrap method at a 95% confidence interval, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
resultsNurses working in public hospitals reported significantly higher levels of occupational stress, career decision regret and turnover intention compared to those in private hospitals. Career decision regret had a direct positive effect on turnover intention (β = 0.37) and an indirect effect mediated by occupational stress (β = 0.33).
conclusionCareer decision regret directly and positively influences turnover intention, with occupational stress serving as a significant mediator. These results have important implications for the development of targeted interventions aimed at reducing occupational stress, particularly among nurses experiencing career decision regret, to improve retention and reduce turnover intentions.
