Application of the SWARA-TOPSIS method for prioritizing turnover intention factors among nurses: a case study in an Isfahan hospital, Iran.

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
introductionNurse turnover intention poses a significant challenge to healthcare systems, particularly in hospitals. So, it disrupts clinical care and reduces patient satisfaction. This study aimed to identify and prioritize factors influencing turnover intention among nurses in a hospital to provide actionable insights for improving nurse retention.
methodsThis study employed a hybrid Fuzzy Delphi-SWARA-TOPSIS methodology. First, a systematic literature review and the Fuzzy Delphi Technique were used to identify key factors. These factors were categorized into four groups: individual (e.g., age, education), organizational (e.g., salary, benefits), job-related (e.g., job security), and managerial (e.g., leadership style). The SWARA method was then applied to determine the relative weights of these factors, followed by the TOPSIS technique to rank them based on their impact on turnover intention.
resultsThe findings revealed that managerial factors, particularly leadership style (closeness coefficient: 0.44), had the strongest effect on nurses' turnover intention. Organizational factors such as salary and job-related factors such as job security placed in next ranks. These results highlight the need for interventions focusing on effective leadership, competitive compensation, and job security to reduce nurse turnover.
conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding and addressing nurse turnover intention. The findings suggest that hospital administrators should develop effective leadership, reform compensation structures, and improve job security to enhance nurse retention. These strategies can not only reduce turnover rates but also stabilize the workforce and improve healthcare service quality. The results offer valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare managers.
