How Does Decreased Motivation Affect Patient Care?
Decreased motivation among nurses can have several adverse effects on patient care:
Reduced Quality of Care: When nurses are not motivated, they may become less attentive and make more errors, compromising patient safety. Lower Patient Satisfaction: Demotivated nurses are less likely to engage positively with patients, leading to decreased patient satisfaction. Increased Turnover: High levels of turnover can disrupt continuity of care and place additional strain on remaining staff.
