Patient safety and job-related stress: A focus group study
Open accessAbstract
This study focused on work-related stress among nurses working with critically ill patients. The aim of the study was to examine the effects of work-related stress with regard to patient safety. The study uses a qualitative design based on focus group interviews with nurses who work with acute, critically ill patients in hospitals. Two regional hospitals were chosen. Inclusion criteria for the focus group panels included the following: nurses with advanced training in anesthesiology, intensive care, or operating-room nursing. Twenty-three nurses were chosen and they were divided into four groups. This study shows that a demanding work environment together with minimal control and social support from colleagues results in increased stress that can often have an effect on patient safety.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
