Promoting Mental Health & Wellbeing in Critical Care Nurses: An Urgent Call

Critical care nurses report high levels of anxiety and depression. Nurses in worse mental & physical health report more medical errors than nurses in better mental & physical health. When nurses perceive high levels of wellness support from their organization, they are more than twice as likely to have better health than nurses who report not having worksite support. Hospital and healthcare system leaders need to create and sustain cultures of wellness to improve overall health and well-being.
