Abstract

In an intensive care center, one sees many patients suffering and staff rushing about, caring for patients’ needs. The most important thing about working in the area of intensive care is efficiency. Dr. Renea Beckstrand of the Brigham Young University College of Nursing has been researching the best way to organize and run Intensive Care Units in the United States for several years. She has discovered many ways to improve patient care and resolve nurse burnout issues by asking nurses what they believe helps or impedes nursing care.
