Proposed change in service delivery and stress among nursing staff
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
The impact of major organisational change in a psychogeriatric service was examined in a naturalistic and opportunistic study, which was prospectively conducted.
A positive association between the organisational change of the proposed closure and relocation of a psychogeriatric ward and stress among the nursing staff as measured by the General Health Questionnaire was demonstrated.
Policy-makers, purchasers and providers need to consider the implication of such stress and develop strategies to minimise stress prior to any major policy change.
