A scoping review of sleep education and training for nurses
2023, International Journal of Nursing StudiesHow effective are Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS)? A review
2022, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Organisations must be aware that, even under ideal circumstances, the implementation of a just culture is likely to take some time, and starts with leadership and management buy-in (Butler and Bell, 2017). Education and training strategies are also key enablers of FRMS (Acton, 2014; Caruso et al., 2018; Schlesinger, 2017; Williamson et al., 2013). Generally, education within an FRMS involves providing employees with information regarding sleep (i.e., the importance of obtaining sufficient sleep, and strategies for improving their sleep), and practical strategies for improving alertness at work (Acton, 2014; Theron and van Heerden, 2011).
Night-shift nurses and drowsy driving: A qualitative study
2020, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :Nurse fatigue is a worldwide problem contributing to health decline, patient care errors, and sickness absences (Blouin et al., 2016; Rhéaume and Mullen, 2018; Sagherian et al., 2017; Smith-Miller et al., 2014). The effects of nurse fatigue often extend beyond the walls of healthcare facilities, where fatigue leads to alarming rates of drowsy driving (Caruso et al., 2017; Scott et al., 2007). Research suggests that up to 79% of night-shift nurses have experienced drowsy driving at least once (Scott et al., 2007) and that 95% of crashes and driving incidents involving night-shift nurses can be attributed to drowsy driving (Gold et al., 1992; Novak and Auvil-Novak, 1996).
