Aim This study aimed to identify factors influencing stay intent among Jordanian registered nurses, with a specific focus on the role of evidence-based practice (EBP) knowledge, attitudes, practices and barriers. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study of 311 nurses from 5 hospitals was conducted from January 2022 to June 2022. Participants completed data about stay intent and knowledge, attitude, practice and barriers of EBP. Data were analysed using SPSS program V.24. Findings EBP attitudes, practices, knowledge and barriers significantly predicted stay intent, controlling for participants and workplace characteristics. Private hospitals (t=−4.681, Β=−0.287, p<0.001), having a library in the healthcare institution (t=−2.018, Β=−0.118, p<0.001) and adopter barriers (t=−1.940, Β=−0.105, p=0.05) were significantly associated with stay intent. Conclusion Our findings show that EBP influences Jordanian nurses’ intent to stay. It highlights the importance of addressing EBP barriers, especially in private hospitals as well as library access issues, in enhancing nurse retention and healthcare outcomes in Jordan.
