Nurses' Occupational Trauma Exposure, Resilience, And Coping Education, Sherry Lynn Jones

Without training, the pattern of adverse outcomes may continue.

A 2011 report increased that estimate nearly 10 times. Widespread preventable patient harm still occurs despite an increase in healthcare regulations. High-reliability organization theory has contributed to improved safety and may potentially reverse this trend. This explorative single case study explored how the perceptions and experiences of nursing and respiratory staff affected the successful transition of a healthcare organization into a reliability-seeking organization. Fourteen participants from …
