Abstract:
Nurses transitioning to care and novice-level nurses experience difficulty managing interruptions in the acute care setting, which can result in loss of attention and potential errors. Understanding better the characteristics surrounding interruptions will better guide staff development educators in designing management strategies as well as improving clinical reasoning that supports a culture of safety among staff and professional partners.
