MAGNET STORIES

Preventing nursing fatigue can improve patient
outcomes and contribute to improved teamwork.
The Nursing Research Council spearheaded
a project based on a literature search with
findings that aligned with the Sentinel Event
Alert issued by the Joint Commission on fatigue
prevention. This alert made recommendations
including staff education and assessing the
risk of fatigue-related events among nursing
staff. In collaboration with the Quality Council,
a pilot study was conducted to evaluate specific
interventions on work-related fatigue. The
positive findings resulted in the Quality Council
developing a comprehensive plan for the
interventions to be implemented into practice
throughout all inpatient nursing units.
