المستخلص: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between registered nurses’ job satisfaction and their intention to leave critical care areas in Saudi Arabia. Many studies have identified critical care areas as stressful work environments for nurses and have identified factors contributing to job satisfaction and staff retention. However, very little research has examined these relationships in the Saudi Context. This study utilized an exploratory cross-sectional survey design to examine the relationship between registered nurses’ (RN) job satisfaction and their intention to leave critical care areas at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Respondents completed a self-administered questionnaire of 49 questions including demographic items and validated measures of job satisfaction and intention to leave. A convenience sample of 182 RNs working in critical care areas during the data collection period were included. Multiple regression analysis predicting RNs’ intention to leave critical care areas found that demographic variables including age, parental status and length of ICU experience, and three of the job satisfaction subscales including perceived workload, professional support and pay and prospects for promotion, were significantly associated with the outcome variable. This study adds to the existing literature on the relationship between RNs’ job satisfaction and their intention to leave critical care areas in Saudi Arabia. These findings point to the need for management and policy interventions targeting nurses’ workloads, professional support and pay and promotion in order to improve nurse retention.
