Abstract

Background

Shortage in nursing resource results from the combination of a lack of nurses, an increased patient volume and workload, and other factors. This seems to be a worldwide phenomenon, leading to multiple health care related challenges and a decreased quality of care, but is different in extent in high- vs. low-income countries. An international perspective can alleviate challenges to keep our patients safe through increasing our health workers' safety.

Purpose & Method

To exchange experiences with the shortage in nursing resource globally, an international online conference event was hosted. Speakers from Germany, the Philippines, Poland, Tanzania, the United Kingdom and the United States presented their national challenges and strategies to deal with this phenomenon.

Results

Conference presentations included information about the health care systems, comparable numbers of hospital beds, nurses, and nursing education. Speakers reported challenges such as an imbalance between a high nurse vacancy rate and demands, but also war and refugees, high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other infection rates, or nurses’ migration to other countries; the solutions reported included buy-in from other countries, nurses-attracting projects such as Magnet hospitals, improved job opportunities like higher wages, career prospects, or improved education, and others.

Conclusions

Shortage in nursing resource seems to be a global phenomenon. Nursing managers and researchers should exchange and communicate challenges and solutions continuously and cooperate globally.

关于护理资源短缺的世界观点：挑战与机遇。

背景：护士资源短缺是由护士缺乏、病人数量和工作量增加以及其他因素共同造成的。这似乎是一个世界性的现象，导致了多种与医疗保健相关的挑战和护理质量的下降，但在高收入国家和低收入国家的程度不同。从国际视角出发，可以通过提高医务工作者的安全性来缓解挑战，从而保证患者的安全：为了在全球范围内交流护理资源短缺的经验，我们举办了一次国际在线会议活动。来自德国、菲律宾、波兰、坦桑尼亚、英国和美国的发言人介绍了各自国家面临的挑战以及应对这一现象的策略：会议发言包括有关医疗保健系统、可比病床数量、护士和护理教育的信息。发言者报告了护士高空缺率与需求之间的不平衡、战争与难民、高人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和其他感染率或护士移民到其他国家等挑战；报告的解决方案包括其他国家的支持、吸引护士的项目（如磁性医院）、改善工作机会（如提高工资、职业前景或改善教育）等：护士资源短缺似乎是一个全球现象。结论：护理资源短缺似乎是一个全球现象，护理管理者和研究人员应不断交流和沟通所面临的挑战和解决方案，并在全球范围内开展合作。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
