First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether a structured leadership training program can improve the work environment, job satisfaction, and reduce turnover intentions among registered nurses in Saudi hospitals. The program includes eight sessions covering leadership styles, communication, conflict management, and team engagement. Forty full-time nurses with at least six months of experience will be randomly assigned to receive the training or continue as usual, and their work environment and turnover intentions will be measured afterward.
