Several factors can contribute to mistreatment in nursing:
1. High Stress Levels Nurses often work in high-stress environments with long hours, which can lead to burnout and reduce their ability to perform their duties effectively.
2. Inadequate Staffing A shortage of nursing staff can lead to overwork, increasing the likelihood of mistakes and neglect.
3. Poor Management Ineffective management can exacerbate the problem by failing to address issues related to workload, support, and professional development.
4. Lack of Training Insufficient training in handling difficult situations, managing stress, and providing emotional support can contribute to mistreatment.
