 The shortage of healthcare professionals has become a global issue due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses and physicians are particularly vulnerable, with many considering leaving their positions at hospitals. To better understand this phenomenon, researchers conducted a systematic review of studies from Europe and other regions. They found that the most common reasons for nursing doctor attrition include dissatisfaction with job demands, lack of career advancement opportunities, poor work-life balance, and poor working conditions. These findings suggest that multifaceted interventions should be developed to address these issues and improve retention rates.
