Job stress and patient safety culture: a qualitative study among hospital nurses in Palestine
This study emphasized the importance of customized policies and interventions to address nurses' specific stressors and improve hospital patient safety culture. Additionally, it highlighted the distinct challenges encountered by Palestinian nurses, including resource limitations and staffing issues. These factors intensify job stress and could increase job stress and impact patient safety. Recognizing these contextual nuances is essential for designing focused interventions and support systems that prioritize nurses' overall well-being and enhance the quality of patient care. Hospital administrations should also focus on implementing coping mechanisms to help nurses manage stress and mitigate its effects on their well-being and patient outcomes.
