    Keywords : Nurse turnover; Nurse retention; Nurse manager; Managerial factors; Psychological safety;

    Abstract : One of the biggest challenges for nurse managers in Sweden is employee retention and counteracting staff turnover. High nurse turnover is associated with major patient safety risks, inefficiencies and increased costs. The reduction in turnover is, therefore, critical to offer better health care and would benefit many stakeholders. READ MORE

  2. 2. Dealing With The Unexpected in Prehospital Patientcare: The Lived Experience Of EMS Clinicians

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet
