“…These findings are inferior to the results found in studies conducted exclusively in intensive care settings carried out in Brazil -(53.6%) (15) and (34.3%) (13) -as well as in Iran (25.54) (17) , as well as a study carried out in Brazil (18.3%) (18) with primary health care workers and in Chile (18%) (19) with nursing, assistance, management, teaching and research professionals. However, our data corroborate the findings of two surveys carried out in Brazil, one in a university hospital in the south of the country, with 393 nursing professionals from critical and non-critical units, which found a prevalence of 10.4% of workers with burnout (20) and another in perioperative care units with a prevalence of 10.3% (21) , thus showing that the percentages found in this study did not differ from the burnout prevalence values in the pre-pandemic scenario.…”

Objective: to identify burnout and associated factors among nursing workers working in coping with COVID-19. Methods: a cross-sectional study, developed in four hospitals in a capital in southern Brazil. Sample (n=499) composed of nurses and nursing technicians/assistants, who answered an online form containing socio-occupational characterization and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed, including multiple comparison tests. Results: burnout was identified in 60 (12%) workers, with no significant difference between hospitals, but with a difference in dimensions between them. In the emotional exhaustion dimension, a higher proportion (52.9%) was found at a moderate level. Prevalence of high level of professional achievement of 95.4% was identified. Conclusion: the presence of burnout was significantly prevalent among nurses and females. It reinforces the need to develop strategies to promote the health of nursing workers, providing improvement in health services and reduction of care and labor risks.

“…However, Veda and Roy [ 3 ] postulated that nurses often consider the quality of care to patients, ignoring their healthy well-being. Ideally, workers’ health is among the crucial factors to be considered if safety care is the priority [ 52 ]. The healthy well-being of nurses is considered important not only to nurses themselves but also to patients.…”

Background One of the global issues facing the nursing profession is work-related stress because it interferes with care quality and organisational competency. These kinds of stressful situations can cause damage to the mental ability of the affected individual resulting in low job productivity. In a Nigerian healthcare setting, patient safety is under-researched. Aim This study aimed to assess the influence of work-related stress on patient safety culture among nurses in a tertiary hospital. Materials and methods The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey. The Population of the study was nurses who are currently serving as employees at Federal Medical Center Birnin-Kebbi. Proportional and systematic sampling methods were used in the selection of the sample of the study. The tools used for this study were adapted Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (HSOPS) and Nurses’ Occupational Stressor Scale. Ethical approval was obtained from the research ethical committee of the hospital. Results The moderate stress experience was having the highest percentage (45.0%). The highest percentage of the nurses (69.9%) practised a moderate safety culture. There were weak or very weak significant negative correlations (P < 0.01) between patient safety culture practices and occupational stress across all the subscales of the nurses’ occupational stressors scale except in the occupational hazards subscale in which there was extremely weak and non-significant negative correlation. Work–family conflict was a significant predictor of patient safety culture, t (208) = -2.341, P < 0.05. Difficulty in taking leave was a significant predictor of patient safety culture, t (208) = -2.190, P < 0.05. Conclusion There was a significant negative correlation between stress and safety practice which implies that as stress increased safety practice decreased. These study findings can be used to develop ongoing strategies and targeted interventions in addressing work-related stress.

“…In relation to marital status, this study identified higher medians in the safety level of the patients cared by nurses without a civil union. International scholars identified that the nurses' well-being and stress level are associated with patient safety (Carneiro et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2020). In this context, Yu et al (2020) (31) identified that the Nursing team professionals with married marital status had greater well-being than single nurses (p=0.003); in turn, Keykaleh et al (2018) found an association between stress and marital status (p=0.005), where stress level was statistically higher in married nurses (p=0.001) than in their single counterparts (p=0.979).…”

Analyzing the patient safety level in hemodialysis institutions and the associated sociodemographic factors of the Nursing team. This is a cross-sectional study composed of 37 nursing professionals, including seven nurses and 30 nursing technicians, from three hemodialysis clinics in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Data collection was conducted in February and March 2021, through the application of a sociodemographic characterization form and the Chronic Renal Patient Hemodialysis Patient Safety Assessment Scale. The sample was selected by convenience according to the following inclusion criteria: being in the hemodialysis session on the day the researcher collected data and being 18 years of age or older. The scale had its construct validation with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.78. In the two hemodialysis institutions, safe care practices were observed, and one unsafe practice, with mean scores of 37.3, 37.7, and 32.2 points, respectively. There was a statistical association between the patient safety level and the sociodemographic variables of the nurses: marital status, level of education, family income, age, weekly workload, length of employment at the institution, and length of employment in hemodialysis. In the profile of nursing technicians, there was an association with the variables: family income, weekly workload, and length of employment at the institution. It was evidenced that one of the sample clinics presented unsafe health care practices related to the patient safety level in the hemodialysis session (mean= 32.2; p-value= 0.000). However, there was no adherence to the level at which patient safety and the sociodemographic factors of the Nursing team in the clinics were associated.
