Nurse Perception of Workplace Safety Affects Patient Care

Nurses' sense of physical and emotional safety in the workplace translates into greater nurse satisfaction and better patient care, according to a report released by health care consulting firm Press Ganey. Its analysis examined two factors: nurse perception of workplace safety and nurse perception of surveillance capacity. Workplace safety refers to the presence of measures that minimize the risk of physical or psychological harm--for example, safe patient handling and mobility practices, and reasonable patient care assignments, meal-break practices, and shift duration. Surveillance capacity refers to having adequate resources on the unit so that nurses can effectively monitor and evaluate information in order to make decisions regarding patient care..
