dc.description.abstractAims: This study aimed to (a) examine the relationship between perceived career decision regret and turnover intention among nurses and (b) explore the mediating role of occupational stress and career decision regret in this relationship within the context of hospital-based nursing practice. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Methods: Data were collected between 1 November 2023 and 20 February 2024, from a final sample of 512 nurses employed across various hospital settings in T & uuml;rkiye. Standardized questionnaires measured career decision regret, occupational stress and turnover intention. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethics committee, and informed consent was obtained from all participants. Group comparisons were performed using independent samples t tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Pearson correlation analysis assessed relationships between continuous variables. The mediating effect of occupational stress was evaluated using the bootstrap method at a 95% confidence interval, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Nurses working in public hospitals reported significantly higher levels of occupational stress, career decision regret and turnover intention compared to those in private hospitals. Career decision regret had a direct positive effect on turnover intention (beta = 0.37) and an indirect effect mediated by occupational stress (beta = 0.33). Conclusion: Career decision regret directly and positively influences turnover intention, with occupational stress serving as a significant mediator. These results have important implications for the development of targeted interventions aimed at reducing occupational stress, particularly among nurses experiencing career decision regret, to improve retention and reduce turnover intentions.
