Hospital unit working conditions and risk for employee injury
Unit-level risk factors-including work shift duration, patient aggression, and prior injury occurrences-play a significant role in employee injury risk. These findings support the importance of continuous monitoring and targeted interventions, such as shift scheduling limits and systematic near-miss reporting, to enhance occupational safety in pediatric hospital settings.
