“I don’t think there’s necessarily a one size fits all” negotiating competing priorities in nurse shift scheduling: a qualitative study
Effective nurse shift scheduling requires a blend of conflict management strategies, with an emphasis on collaborative and compromising approaches. By prioritising flexible scheduling and proactive communication, healthcare organisations can better support their nursing workforce, enhancing both individual wellbeing and organisational efficiency. These findings have significant implications for improving the sustainability and quality of healthcare service provision.
