| Abstract | ||||
| Background: In the context of patient care, regret is the second most common negative emotion among healthcare personnel. Regret is substantial because it can result in serious consequences including sleep deprivation, prolonged sick absence, employee turnover, and serious problems with patient care and organization. Objective: The study aimed to assess regret intensity among critical care nurses. Settings: This study was conducted in all critical care units (N=23) within one Egyptian university hospital. Subjects: Two hundred eighty nurses in the previously mentioned units were conveniently selected. Tools: One tool was used to collect the necessary data namely Regret Intensity Scale (RIS-10). Results: The study showed that 60.1% of nurses experienced a moderate level of regret intensity, 27.7% of them experienced a low level of regret intensity, and 12.3% experienced a high level of regret intensity, with a mean of regret (2.95 ± 0.55). Conclusion: understanding and managing regret is essential for improving both healthcare delivery and nurses' wellbeing. Recommendations: reducing regret among nurses requires a supportive work culture that encourages open communication, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving. Enhancing access to training and resources that build resilience, and emotional intelligence can empower nurses to manage regret constructively, | ||||
