Nurses’ Retention in Lebanese Hospital

This article investigates retention policies for nursing staff in Lebanese hospitals, examining their prevalence, tools used, and the effects of human resource practices focused on employee well-being. Data from a 2022 survey of nursing staff in various Lebanese hospitals is analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to evaluate the scope and effectiveness of retention policies. Structural equation modeling is applied to assess the impact of these policies on staff motivation and hospital performance. The study finds that not all Lebanese hospitals have implemented retention policies, and those that have employ varying strategies. It highlights that human resource policies prioritizing employee well-being significantly improve staff retention, reduce recruitment and training costs, and enhance hospital efficiency. This research emphasizes the importance of comprehensive retention strategies to strengthen nurse loyalty and hospital outcomes.
