Abstract:
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.
