Implementation of Job Rotation for the Development of Nursing Competencies and the Improvement of Organizational Health in a Department of Cardiovascular Sciences: A Research Protocol

Nurses assigned to the intervention group will participate in a structured job rotation program across multiple cardiovascular units (e.g., intensive care, medical, surgical, rehabilitation) every two months for a period of 12 months. Each rotation cycle involves temporary reassignment to a different unit, followed by a return to the original unit. Each nurse will undergo orientation and receive support from a dedicated tutor in the host unit.

Nurses in the control group will continue their usual duties in their respective units without participating in the job rotation program. They will be exposed to the same data collection tools as the intervention group, but without any planned rotation or inter-unit movement.
