However, critical care nurses who prioritise caring can meaningfully connect with critically ill patient and their families, resulting in positive healthcare outcomes.
Objectives: To assess critical care nurses' orientations to caring for critically ill patient and their families.
Background: Nurses face significant risks of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which adversely affects workplace safety and productivity. Yet, the extent of EDS in this workforce remains inadequately characterized.
Aim: The aims of this systematic review were to assess the pooled prevalence of EDS among nurses.
