Overview
Nursing staff are the body of nurses and allied nursing personnel who collectively deliver patient care within hospitals, clinics, long-term care, and community services. Trained across clinical and behavioral domains, they perform assessment and treatment, medication administration, documentation, patient education, and infection-prevention practice, and their adequacy, organization, and well-being are central determinants of care quality, patient safety, and health-system performance. Research on nursing staff addresses workforce conditions and workload, knowledge and adherence to safe practice, burnout and turnover, risk and quality management, and the implementation of screening and preventive programs, often with attention to resource-limited settings. Recurring themes include patient safety and clinical risk management, infection prevention, staff knowledge and practice, and the delivery of care across maternal, neonatal, and primary-care contexts. The peer-reviewed studies indexed under this topic examine risk management in hospital drug therapy, quality-improvement strategies in healthcare facilities, management of influenza outbreaks in long-term care, screening and linkage to preventive care, nurses working with unlicensed assistive personnel, registered-nurse turnover, stigma and compassion among mental-health providers, knowledge and practices toward hepatitis B prevention, patient safety and clinical risk management in general practice, and antimicrobial restriction in neonatal care. Together they reflect investigation of the nursing workforce spanning staffing, safety, infection control, quality, and well-being, with direct relevance to the organization and quality of patient care.
