Article Abstract
Background: Prior international collaborative studies indicated that job satisfaction, a factor of nursing work wellbeing (WWB), is closely linked to retention, with notable cross-country differences. However, limited regional comparisons, especially between Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), North America, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), restrict understanding of nurse wellbeing and retention regional impacts, limiting tailored strategy development.
Aims: This secondary analysis study compared the effects of region on nursing WWB and job satisfaction factors in CEE, MENA, and North America, aiming to identify those CEE region-specific predictors associated with and effects on job satisfaction and, in turn, WWB.
Methods: CEE (n = 1616), MENA (n = 1562), and North America (n = 1386) data were analyzed using descriptive and linear regression analytics (p < 0.001). The CEE sample included nursing staff from Croatian (n = 301), Polish (n = 215), Serbian (n = 489), and Slovenian (n = 611) nurses and nursing assistants. Six job satisfaction factors were examined: coworkers, patient care, participative management, autonomy, professional growth, and organizational rewards.
Results: The CEE region reported statistically significant lower mean scores and negative effects across all six job satisfaction factors compared to MENA and North America. Satisfaction with coworkers had the largest effect within the CEE region when compared to MENA and North America (ϐ = -0.26), while satisfaction with participative management had the smallest regional effect (ϐ = -0.10). Findings informed operational discussions for CEE-targeted retention interventions.
Linking Evidence To Action: Job satisfaction subscale factors facilitate the identification of empirically- and theoretically-informed operational actions to improve CEE nursing job satisfaction as an important factor of WWB and contribute to nursing retention.

Practical application of motivation theories for engaging and retaining medical staff.
Pol Merkur Lekarski
September 2025
UZHHOROD NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, UZHHOROD, UKRAINE.
Objective: Aim: To provide a scientific rationale for various approaches to the practical application of individual motivation theories in order to develop a motivated medical workforce as the foundation for strengthening healthcare systems.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Based on comparative analysis, as well as systematic and analytical approaches to understanding selected motivation theories - namely Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, Adams's Equity Theory, Vroom's Expectancy Theory, and Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory - the authors propose integrating these theories into managerial strategies.
Conclusion: Conclusions: A well-functioning healthcare workforce system requires not only a sufficient number of professionals but also effective motivation strategies based on various theories, such as those by Maslow, Herzberg, and Vroom, to enhance job satisfaction and retention.
An Exploration of Culture in General Surgery Training Programs: A Scoping Review.
Ann Surg
September 2025
Department of Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC.
Objective: The objective of this study was to systematically explore how culture has been conceptualized, investigated, and measured within general surgery residency training programs.
Summary Background Data: Research on the culture of general surgery residency training programs has primarily focused on examining individual parameters, such as mistreatment and burnout, rather than comprehensively analyzing the overall culture, climate, or learning environment.
Methods: Five databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo) were searched.
Machine-learning-based model for analysing and accurately predicting factors related to burnout in healthcare workers.
BMJ Public Health
September 2025
Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University, Evidence-Based Medicine Center, Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Linhai, China.
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse the factors affecting medical burnout in hospitals, identify the characteristics of staff experiencing high levels of burnout and devise a practical and sustainable prediction mechanism.
Methods: A survey was conducted to access the current situation, followed by a regression analysis using data from the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, demographic information related to healthcare personnel and employee job satisfaction metrics from the hospitals under study. Subsequently, four predictive models-logistic regression, K-nearest neighbour, decision tree and random forest (RF)-were employed to predict the degree of healthcare burnout.
Aim: To explore the factors affecting the sustainable improvement of nurses' evidence-based practice (EBP) competency after receiving an EBP training program.
Design: A sequential mixed-methods study.
Methods: Thirty-seven ICU nurses participated from an adult ICU in Egypt.
An integrated support model for lay health care workers to improve clients' retention in HIV care.

Department of Health Studies, College of Human Sciences, University of South Africa, Pretoria.
Background: Retention in care is vital for the successful management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). About 20% of clients interrupt their HIV therapy within 6 months of starting it. Lay healthcare workers complement the healthcare professionals to provide services across the HIV care continuum.
