Introduction

Nursing shortages have become a critical issue in healthcare systems worldwide, posing significant challenges to the delivery of quality patient care. As the demand for healthcare services rises due to aging populations and the increasing complexity of medical treatments, the supply of qualified nurses struggles to keep pace.
In addition, nursing is inherently stressful due to long hours, heavy workloads, emotional strain, and exposure to traumatic situations and the high levels of stress and burnout can lead to increased turnover and exacerbate existing shortages.
