Effects of Mediating Model-Based Nursing Intervention on Nurse Retention and Employee Engagement in Organizational Culture

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a mediating model-based nursing intervention on employee engagement, organizational culture, and nurse retention. 

Study Design: Quasi-experimental study 
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the CDA Hospitals in Islamabad and Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences from 1st June 2024 to 30th November 2024. 

Methods: 110 nurses were selected. The 12-week intervention began with a pre-assessment, followed by data collection after completion of the intervention. 

Results: The significant improvements across all three domains. Employee engagement increased with mean of 24.24±3.907, organizational culture improved with mean of 24.84±2.293, and nurse retention rose with mean of 18.80±2.789). Negative Z-test values (employee engagement: -9.135; organizational culture: -9.123; nurse retention: -9.258) indicated statistically significant (p<0.05) differences between pre- and post-intervention scores. 

Conclusion: The mediating model-based nursing intervention effectively enhanced employee engagement, strengthened organizational culture, and improved nurse retention. These findings highlight the potential of  structured interventions to create a more supportive and sustainable work environment for nurses.
