A brief preparatory contextual checklist informed interview guide refinement and contextual understanding without constituting a separate quantitative analytic component.

Mobility disrupted psychological safety, belonging, and the enactment of expertise, requiring continuous adaptation and emotional regulation. Inadequate induction, blurred role boundaries and uneven supervisory support intensified vulnerability, whereas inclusive and supportive leadership behaviours were experienced as protective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sustainable mobile staffing is not secured by individual adaptability alone.
