Enhancing ICU Nurse Redeployment Practices: A Qualitative Improvement Study of Support Interventions

The findings indicated that though efforts were made to improve the redeployment experience for ICU nursing staff through information and education, the challenges and gaps between an exposure buddy shift to gain a targeted understanding of the ward's workflow, compared to a structured orientation process, are significant. Further research on an orientation process and adequate resourcing before redeploying ICU staff to other units should be conducted and analyzed.
