leave were explored using bivariate Pearson correlations. Subsequently, a multivariable binary logistic regression model including all significant non- ranking items was built. Multicollinearity was checked (VIF≤3), and model fit was assessed with McFadden’s pseudo-R². Results: A total of 788 responses were included, representing radiation oncology professionals from 52 countries. The largest subgroups were female respondents, RTTs and participants from the UK (Table1). Among the 655 respondents who answered the intention-to-leave question, 55% considered leaving their current role in the past year, and 20% seriously considered leaving the field (≥7/10). In bivariate analyses, intention to leave showed the strongest negative correlations with feeling heard within the department, loyalty to the employer, recognition of achievements, alignment of role with personal goals and freedom to voice contrary opinions (r=-0.42 to -0.47, p<0.001, Figure1). In the multivariable analysis, approximately 35% of the variance in retention behaviour was explained by the model. Professionals who felt more connected to colleagues (odds ratio (OR)=0.58, 95%CI[0.41–0.80], p=0.001), experienced a healthier work-life balance (OR=0.71, 95%CI[0.56–0.90], p=0.004), or perceived their role as aligned with personal goals (OR=0.60, 95%CI[0.44–0.82], p=0.001) were significantly less likely to consider leaving. The ability to voice contrary opinions (OR=0.73, 95%CI[0.55–0.97], p=0.032) and loyalty to the employer (OR=0.99, 95%CI[0.98–1.00], p=0.039) were also protective factors.
Conclusion: The ESTRO Retention Survey reveals that more than half of professionals have considered leaving their current role. Collegial connections, a healthy work–life balance, meaningful alignment between personal and professional goals and an environment that values open expression are protective for retention in radiation oncology.
