| occupational health nurse week: Safe Work in the 21st Century Institute of Medicine, Board on Health Sciences Policy, Committee to Assess Training Needs for Occupational Safety and Health Personnel in the United States, 2000-08-01 Despite many advances, 20 American workers die each day as a result of occupational injuries. And occupational safety and health (OSH) is becoming even more complex as workers move away from the long-term, fixed-site, employer relationship. This book looks at worker safety in the changing workplace and the challenge of ensuring a supply of top-notch OSH professionals. Recommendations are addressed to federal and state agencies, OSH organizations, educational institutions, employers, unions, and other stakeholders. The committee reviews trends in workforce demographics, the nature of work in the information age, globalization of work, and the revolution in health care deliveryâ€exploring the implications for OSH education and training in the decade ahead. The core professions of OSH (occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and occupational medicine and nursing) and key related roles (employee assistance professional, ergonomist, and occupational health psychologist) are profiled-how many people are in the field, where they work, and what they do. The book reviews in detail the education, training, and education grants available to OSH professionals from public and private sources. |

| occupational health nurse week: Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, National Academy of Medicine, Committee on Systems Approaches to Improve Patient Care by Supporting Clinician Well-Being, 2020-01-02 Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field. |

It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices. |
| occupational health nurse week: Handbook of Modern Hospital Safety William Charney, 1999-03-12 As the need for attentive health care becomes more important than ever, on-the-job risks to physicians, nurses, and related professionals have continued to relentlessly increase. Ever-changing technology, new and unforeseen hazards, the dramatic shift to managed care, and a lack of skilled workers have only heightened the difficulties of maintaining safe environments for caregivers and patients alike. For guidance on health care worker protection, safety specialists have found definitive advice and guidance in William Charney's Essentials of Modern Hospital Safety, Volumes I to III -introduced by Lewis Publishers during the early 1990s. Charney now offers all the important details of that three-volume series, combined with an additional volume's worth of information, in a convenient, single-volume Handbook of Modern Hospital Safety. It's a tragic irony: the industry dedicated to healing and recovery has now become the second highest compensable injury sector-even more hazardous than manufacturing. Make sure your health care professionals have the skills, tools and awareness to protect themselves-and, in turn, their patients-with the Handbook of Modern Hospital Safety. |

| occupational health nurse week: From Silence to Voice Bernice Buresh, Suzanne Gordon, 2006 To get the resources and respect they need, nurses have long had to be advocates for themselves and their profession, not just for their patients. For a decade, From Silence to Voice has provided nurses with the tools they need to explain the breath and complexity of nursing work. Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon have helped nurses around the world speak up and convey to the public that nursing is more than dedication and caring-it demands specialized knowledge, expertise across a range of medical technologies, and decision-making about life-and-death issues. Nurses and nursing organizations, they write, must go out and tell the public what nurses really do so that patients can actually get the benefit of their expert care.--Amazon.com. |

| occupational health nurse week: Impact of COVID-19 Pandemics and Syndemics on Healthcare Systems Worldwide Ozgur Karcioglu , Garyfallia Syridou, 2024-12-11 The COVID-19 pandemic has altered almost every aspect of the world, including economics, social issues, health care, and politics. Many experts consider this phenomenon to be a syndemic, as it is more than just an outbreak of a viral infectious disease. Almost all countries worldwide have been deeply involved in the battle since the early months of 2020. As of June 2023, almost 700 million people have been infected, with reportedly 6.9 million deaths (around 1%) recorded globally due to COVID-19. These profound changes have had an adverse impact on healthcare systems worldwide. The healthcare industry has evolved to screen, diagnose, and treat COVID-19 patients promptly and cost-effectively. However, this shift has meant that resources have been diverted to managing a specific disease, rather than on preventive measures and critical areas of healthcare like injury prevention, care of mothers and infants, elderly care, long-term care institutions, etc. As a result, patients have encountered significant challenges in accessing care from their regular physicians, finding hospital beds, and accessing ICU beds in situations of extreme illness. Healthcare workers have also faced dramatic consequences, such as losing their lives, carrying a higher risk of infection compared to the general population, and working in high-risk environments while mourning for their colleagues and still being obligated to work for extended hours under these conditions. Additionally, vaccination procedures have been difficult and problematic, particularly in developing countries, where full coverage has been difficult to achieve. This Research Topic aims to cover topics related to the impact and challenges of the pandemic and syndemic on pediatric healthcare, focusing on specific areas such as the prehospital system, emergency departments, ICUs, medical branches, preventive medicine, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and infection surveillance. |
