Introduction:
Nurses have to play many roles in healthcare and effective and safe nursing is one main
aspect among them. For the last few decades, working in a hospital environment becomes
more challenging for nurses because of the complexity of patients and diseases, workforce
shortages, and changing healthcare delivery models (Wagner, O’Connor & Hasenau, 2016).
Nursing is a noble profession that eradicates suffering and pain, endorses public health, and
help the weak and vulnerable. In this article, we will identify and discuss the ways to provide
effective care and safety in nursing. We will go through in-depth research to find out the
challenges which can hinder effective and safe care for graduate nurses. We will also discuss
the short and long-term implications of the challenges for graduate nurses to achieve safe
person-centred care.
Challenges:
While providing service in an important sector like healthcare, nurses have to face many
challenges in order to maintain safety and patient-centric care. Among them some challenges
are direct and some are indirect. Some challenges are patient and medicine related and some
are management related. Nurses take legal, ethical, social and contractual accountability and
they have the sole responsibility for the work they are allotted. The challenges that nurses
have to deal with in order to provide better healthcare include a shortage of resources,
incompetent organizational infrastructure, unfavorable work environment, weak leadership,
lack of commitment, non-supportive management, and many more. Each of the challenges is
unique and acts as a barrier against safe person-centric care. Below we have critically
discussed how these issues can pose difficulties for nurses.
