The Effects of Adequate Rest on Nurse Job Satisfaction, Burnout Prevention, and Physical Health in Medical and Emergency Units at a Hospital in Western Jamaica: Qualitative Study

The study highlights the need for systemic improvements to address nurse rest and well-being, including increased staffing, structured policies on break enforcement, and enhanced management engagement. While the study is specific to the hospital in Western Jamaica, the findings may have broader implications for health care systems in similarly resource-constrained settings in the Caribbean and other low- and middle-income regions.

Abstract

The study highlights the need for systemic improvements to address nurse rest and well-being, including increased staffing, structured policies on break enforcement, and enhanced management engagement. While the study is specific to the hospital in Western Jamaica, the findings may have broader implications for health care systems in similarly resource-constrained settings in the Caribbean and other low- and middle-income regions.
