Several factors contribute to workplace accidents in nursing:
- High Workload: Overworked nurses are more prone to mistakes and accidents due to fatigue and stress. - Inadequate Staffing: Insufficient staffing levels can lead to rushed procedures and improper handling of patients. - Lack of Proper Training: Inadequate training in handling equipment or patients can increase the likelihood of accidents. - Environmental Hazards: Poorly maintained medical equipment or unsafe working conditions can also contribute to accidents.
