What Makes It Tip Over and How Can It Be Prevented?: Challenges in Psychosocial and Organisational Work Environment Faced by Perioperative Nurses, Anaesthesiologists and Nurse Assistants
Healthcare is facing new challenges today; accordingly, staffing and work environment are important for healthcare to work smoothly. The limitations in the perioperative physical work environment, for employees to not have an impact, are unique. Thus, the psychosocial work environment becomes even more important, where colleagues and nurse managers, relational justice and organisational justice play an important role in staff’s well-being and decision to leave or stay. Moreover, interest in those who train to work in perioperative settings is decreasing for various reasons. It is, therefore, important to make perioperative departments healthy and attractive workplaces, where the demands and control in one’s work are in balance, where support is offered by colleagues and managers as well as good salary, possibility for development in the profession and satisfactory work schedules with respect to recovery.
