Mental health nurses struggling with their own mental health as stress and workloads escalate
Mental health nurses report staff shortages, unsustainable high workloads, acutely unwell patients, and verbal and physical aggression as top causes of work stress impacting their own mental health, according to a new ACUsurvey.
