The article’s main purpose is that assess burnout, turnover intention, and supposed quality of care for patients among healthcare professionals in Oman and examine the prospective moderating responsibility of job satisfaction on the relationship between nurse turnover intention and their working environment. The author targets healthcare organizations in Oman and the rest of the world. In this case, the research investigates all nurse turnover intention indicators and burnout to establish ways of mitigating the issue. The author is an assistant dean for postgraduate studies and research in the department of fundamentals and nursing administration, college of nursing in Sultan Qaboos University, Al-Khoud Muscat City. Such qualifications demonstrate the credibility of the article since the findings were obtained by someone who has experience in this field.
The relevance of the article is that organizational strategies are required to encourage nurse job satisfaction by providing nurses with the ability to resume functional responsibilities in hospital issues to decrease turnover intention and promote improved care for patients in terms of quality. The article’s main argument is that participation in hospital affairs, staffing adequacy, and a foundation for care quality serve as indicators of burnout in nurses and the perceived quality of patient care. According to (Al Sabei et al., 2020), working in a suitable environment relates to less turnover intention and hence job satisfaction remains high. Employees’ problems need to be solved within a short period so that their grievances could not affect the services of the company. High production will ensure customer satisfaction and hence increases the profit margin of the organization.
The article utilized a cross-sectional design to assemble information from a 207 sample of nurses working in a public hospital in Muscat, Oman. Furthermore, the author utilized an electronic survey in assessing the perceptions of the nurses within their workplace satisfaction with their work, burnout, turnover intention, and the level of quality of care for patients. The author concludes that ensuring improvement in the nurse’s job satisfaction serves as a mechanism through future interventions that might boost working conditions and promote improved nurse retention. On the other hand, my observations are that nurses in the world have severe burnout. Many of them report their increased intentions to quit their present healthcare organization. Burnout is associated with inadequate quality of care for patients, turnover intention, and increased absenteeism. Additionally, burnout remains associated with both work-related and personal aspects. However, providing a suitable working environment promotes better nurse retention and fewer reported burnout cases in healthcare nurses in Muscat, Oman. Moreover, improved organizational job satisfaction enables healthcare organizations better to decrease nurse turnover in the country and the world.
