Missed nursing care and related factors: a cross-sectional study
Given the severe nursing shortage and its potential negative impact on patients, healthcare management and policymakers need to address missed nursing care. Proposed solutions to alleviate the nursing staff shortage include enhancing the work environment, increasing nurse recruitment opportunities, and improving their compensation and benefits packages. Additionally, there is a need for governmental and hospital initiatives to enhance the working conditions through increased financial investment and support programs for nurses. Management should focus on minimizing nurses' non-essential responsibilities and supporting efforts to reduce missed nursing care occurrences.
