Humanistic care ability and nurse turnover intention: the mediating role of caring behaviors.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn many countries, shortages in the number of nurses and unfavorable working conditions have become a significant problem, leading to an increase in nurses' intention to leave their jobs. This study aims to determine the effect of nurses' humanistic care ability on their turnover intention and the possible mediating role of care behaviors in this relationship.
methodsThis study employed a quantitative research approach with a descriptive, cross-sectional design. The study was carried out among nurses from multiple hospitals across Turkey to ensure sample diversity and enhance the generalizability of the findings. The study included a total of 456 nurses. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 and the PROCESS 4.1 macro.
resultsResults showed that humanistic care ability had a significant negative direct effect on turnover intention (β = -0.0076, p = .039), while caring behaviors also negatively and significantly influenced turnover intention (β = -0.0076, p < .001). Furthermore, the indirect effect analysis indicated a significant mediating role of caring behaviors in the relationship between humanistic care ability and turnover intention (β = -0.0083, 95% CI [-0.0124, -0.0046]).
conclusionsThe findings indicate that nurses' care behaviors are effective in reducing turnover intentions and that a humanistic approach plays a mediating role in the relationship between turnover intentions. Incorporating humanistic care models into nursing education and assessing students' humanistic levels may increase job satisfaction, thereby supporting retention in the profession and enhancing the quality of care.
