The Nurse Patient Care through Nursing Challenges Strategies and Innovation

Abstract

Nurses are essential for the provision of safe, effective and quality care that is based on best practice and scientific knowledge, and nursing is the largest part of the global health workforce. The quality of nurse–patient care influences directly and significantly on patient safety, clinical effectiveness, patient perceptions of care, and the performance of health systems. Yet, in reality, the current state of modern nursing practice finds itself within complex health care systems where increasing patient acuity, staffing shortages, workloads and technological change are met with additional bureaucracy and growing administrative responsibilities. These stressors result in physical and psychological strain, burnout, and moral distress among nurses ultimately jeopardizing the ability to deliver safe, high-quality care (Aiken et al., 2014; World Health Organization, 2020).
