Job Embeddedness Questionnaire and Intensive Care Nurses’ Workplace Thriving Questionnaire.
Results: The results showed that 69.4% of intensive care nurses had a low level and around one
quarter (24%) had a moderate level of total job embeddedness. 54.1 of intensive care nurses had a
moderate level, and 25.1% had a low level regarding the total workplace thriving. Conclusion:
