Differences in shift and work-related patterns between metropolitan and regional/rural healthcare shift workers and the occupational health and safety risks

Some of these factors contributed to occupational health and safety risks. Further exploration is needed to understand how to reduce occupational health and safety risks, and improve employee and patient safety both in both regional/rural and metropolitan areas.PMID:38063243 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13075 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

Nurse escorts' perceptions of nurse-led inter-hospital ambulance transfer in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia: A descriptive survey study
CONCLUSION: Wheatbelt nurse escorts were capable, generalist nurses with a demonstrated skill set in managing patient care during transfer when needed. The 'back of the ambulance' was a challenging environment for nurses to engage in the type of care usually provided in the hospital setting, which come with a high level of uncertainty and anxiety for both patient outcome and own well-being.PMID:38014490 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13067 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)
