Details:


This assignment involves finding an issue you have encountered in practice – this could be your clinical practice or nursing related work if you are employed in healthcare. Identify and reflect on the issue. Conduct a search for literature related to this issue and provide a brief overview of the evidence.

Health care staff work is really crucial because they have to look upon patients and family members along with them. Sometime health care staff facing abusing behavior of family members of patients that time to protect yourself and to handle situation peacefully is first thing to do. The shift hours of health care staff are also comparatively long which makes their job more tedious and stressful due to which sometimes it difficult to cope up with the situation and work more efficiently. Most of the cases number of health care staff is not sufficient to deliver work and to give attention to every patient which untimely forced pressure to existing staff and make their workload even more.
