The growth of new technologies has opened up new areas of expertise for nurses, giving them unique opportunities to play major roles in critical care. New opportunities, however, pose problems for the nurses themselves and for the profession. The risk of exposure to physical and emotional health hazards in the neonatal intensive care units of two regional teaching hospitals is described. The conclusion drawn is that unless hospitals pay more attention to the health of their nurses, the shortage of staff will worsen.
新技术的发展为护士开辟了新的专业领域，使他们有独特的机会在重症护理中发挥重要作用。然而，新机会也给护士自身和该职业带来了问题。本文描述了两家地区教学医院新生儿重症监护病房中护士面临身体和心理健康危害的风险。得出的结论是，除非医院更加关注护士的健康，否则人员短缺问题将恶化。
