Multicenter Study Observational Study
Emergency Nurses' Well-Being in Magnet Hospitals and Recommendations for Improvements in Work Environments: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Observational Study.
This study aimed to determine the well-being outcomes and quality of work environment among emergency nurses compared with inpatient nurses working in Magnet hospitals and identify recommendations in emergency department work environments that hold promise for enhancing emergency nurses' well-being. ⋯ High burnout and other adverse nurse outcomes are common among emergency nurses in Magnet hospitals. Modifiable features of ED work environments including inadequate nurse staffing, inability of nurses to take uninterrupted breaks, and lack of responsiveness of management to persistent problems in patient care warrant high priority attention by Magnet hospital leaders.
