What are the effects of burnout on nursing staff and patient care?
Burnout among nursing staff can have severe consequences for both the nurses and the patients. Burnout often results in physical and emotional exhaustion, reduced job performance, and a higher likelihood of errors. This can compromise patient safety and quality of care. Addressing burnout through measures such as adequate staffing, mental health support, and work-life balance initiatives is essential to maintain a healthy and effective nursing workforce.
