Nurses’ intention to leave the profession in Spain is not down to a single factor, but to a set of structural conditions that undermine the day-to-day practice of nursing, notably job insecurity and poor quality of care.
That is the conclusion of new research, which finds that almost four in 10 nursing professionals in Spain are considering leaving the profession in the next decade.
This is shown by the largest study carried out to date in the country, led by the Ministry of Health and the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII), based on more than 20,000 responses and published in the Journal of Nursing Management'.
