Always on duty - Fostering climate resilience in the nursing profession: A discussion paper

In response to these risk factors, we recommend urgent actions that will support and promote nurses' health and well-being. For example, workplace policies and environments should be adjusted to address the unique healthcare issues of an aging workforce that is primarily women. As well, actions that promote climate-resilient healthcare systems are needed. These actions include updating physical infrastructures as well as ensuring adequate staffing during climate-related weather emergencies. There is also a pressing need for interventions that provide mental health supports and psychological safety in the workplace for nurses.
