Nurse health and safety and the environments in which nurses work impact nurses, patient safety and quality of care, and organizational outcomes. In January 2018, we conducted a comprehensive national assessment of the overall health and safety of nephrology nurses and their work environments as a follow-up study to the 2014 study on Patient Safety Culture in Nephrology Nurse Settings conducted by American Nephrology Nurses Association. This article presents initial broad findings of this national study. Results identified a number of opportunities for improvement in nephrology nurse work environments, especially in the areas of staffing, optimizing the knowledge and skills of registered nurses, and mental and physical health.
护士的健康与安全以及护士的工作环境会对护士自身、患者安全和护理质量以及组织成果产生影响。2018年1月,作为美国肾脏病护士协会于2014年开展的肾脏病护士工作环境患者安全文化研究的后续研究,我们对肾脏病护士的整体健康与安全及其工作环境进行了全面的全国性评估。本文介绍了这项全国性研究的初步广泛结果。结果确定了肾脏病护士工作环境中一些有待改进的方面,特别是在人员配备、优化注册护士的知识和技能以及身心健康等领域。
