Nurse Burnout and Patient Safety, Satisfaction, and Quality of Care

In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 85 studies including 288 581 nurses, nurse burnout was associated with a lower patient safety climate and patient safety grade; more nosocomial infections, patient falls, medication errors, and adverse events; lower patient satisfaction ratings; and lower nurse-assessed quality of care. The associations were consistent across nurse age, sex, work experience, and geography.
