Drama HBO Pete He quickly caught the attention of the audience everywhere not only with a sharp spelling and acting, but also for his painful, honest reflection of life within the insufficient department of ambulance. Although the plot lines are fictional, many healthcare providers who look at you will tell you: it’s too real.
From the chaotic scenes of the trio to the senior visit to the begging of the chief hospital’s chief doctor to hire more nurses between cases of injury to the back,PeteIt contains a mirror for everyday experience of healthcare workers in America, especially on the ambulance front. And doing so, it emphasizes the crisis of labor that we can no longer allow to ignore.
In incredible health, we work with 1 million nurses and 1500 health systems across the country. Our annual reports reflect thatPeteDrama: Nurses are overloaded, insufficient resources and work in situations when they are in real physical danger. In our lastreportIn a state of care, 88% of nurses note that staff deficiency has a negative impact on patients, and 63% are assigned to too many patients at the same time. Another surveyHealthcare executives found that it had discovered78% do not believe that they have employees needed to combat a large -scale health crisis.
Risk to patients
The risk to patients is very real. Employee deficiency makes the nurses manage unstable loads on patients, increasing the likelihood of missing symptoms, care delay, and burnout that causes even more nurses to leave the profession. This is a vicious cycle that makes us less safe.
PeteIt also stands out from the face of violence. Nurses and other healthcare providers are persecuted, physically attacked and emotionally worn, often with little institutional support or protection. Half of all nurses reports oral and/or physically attacked by patients or their family last year, and 26% say they can leave the job from this. The result is a sense of fear and disappointment, which only accelerates a decrease from the profession. No one should choose between their safety and call.
Nurses in the crisis
ThatPeteIt is correct that the data tells us for years. Nursing is not just tutors-they are part of the basis of our health care system. And they are in crisis. The deficit correction will not take place over the night, but there are accurate steps that can take health managers to support and maintain their nurses, such as prioritizing hiring staff rather than temporary nurses, providing growth and training opportunities, offering flexible planning and fair compensation.
It is important to solve the psychological problems of work in the post-pandemic world of Christian stress, trauma and burnout, which are too often invisible or not treatment. Health system systems should prefer safety and well -being in the workplace not only for the preservation of talents, but also to honor humanity who support the hospitals. This may include the establishment of zero -tolerance policies against medical workers, supporting legislation that sets a fine for violence against health care and creating strong security plans for employees when violence takes place. Patients and their families can also make their role, remembering that people who treat them are people. Expanding basic courtesy, kindness and patience is the right thing when health workers work tirelessly to assist.
At a time when public awareness can lead to significant changes, sincerely see a cultural moment asPeteSpark conversations about the most pressing health issues. But the awareness should lead to the action-for the healthcare providers who still appeared every day, and for patients whose lives depends on them.
