Causes of Nurses' Second Victim Distress: An Objective Analysis

The Effect of Care Pathways on Coronary Care Nurses: A Preliminary Study
Background and Objectives:
A care pathway is a structured care plan based on best clinical practice for a particular patient group. It reorganizes a complex process by providing structured, standardized care and supportive multidisciplinary teamwork.

This preliminary study aimed to examine the effect of a care pathway on the autonomy, teamwork, and burnout levels among coronary care nurses in a tertiary hospital.
Methods:
A preliminary study was conducted using a pre/postte...
