Abstract
Nurses are crucial to ensuring patient safety in clinical environments because they provide ongoing care, keep an eye on patients' illnesses, give medication, and attend to their needs, nurses are crucial to ensuring patient safety in clinical environments. High patient-to-nurse ratios and higher workloads, however, may make it more difficult for nurses to deliver safe and efficient care. This study sought to characterize nurses' experiences with patient safety issues and workload in clinical settings. The replies of the nurses were compiled and presented in numerical form using a quantitative descriptive study design. Those who were available and willing to take part in the study were chosen using a convenience sample technique. There were thirteen nurses in all. A standardized questionnaire with questions about workload, patient-to-nurse ratio, workload factors, patient safety incidents, types of incidents seen, and workload management techniques was used to gather data. Descriptive statistics, such as minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis, were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that, with the highest mean score of 3.69, workload-related factors were the most common concern mentioned by nurses. High patient-to-nurse ratios, patient safety issues connected to workload, varied incident kinds, and different workload management techniques were all reported by nurses.To improve patient safety in clinical settings, the study suggests increasing staffing numbers, lowering excessive workloads, enhancing communication, and providing nurses with efficient task management techniques.
