“…CF was a strong predictor for reporting of AEs, with the multiple logistic models showing that ‘cognitive failure’, predicted reported AEs.

“…Stress can have a significant effect on the level of AEs as it impacts on cognitive performance (Lupien, Maheu, Tu, Fiocco, & Schramek, 2007) and decision-making capacity (Starcke, Wolf, Markowitsch, & Brand, 2008). When nursing staff experience workplace stress they may be less able to perform as effectively and thereby less able to promote patient safety as a consequence of reduced cognitive capacity (Louch et al, 2017).…”

Aim To determine correlations for nurse self‐reported occupational stress, prevalence of cognitive failure (CF), and adverse events. Design Cross‐sectional nationwide survey. Methods Tertiary‐level public hospitals (N = 115) from 13 provinces in Iran were recruited and 2,895 nurses surveyed (August 2016–December 2017). Participants’ self‐reported demographic information, occupational stress, CF, and frequency of adverse events were analysed using chi‐square, t tests, and binary logistic regression. Results This study showed that 29.1% of nurses had experienced adverse events in the past six months. Significant predictors for reported adverse events from logistic regression were ‘Role stressors’, ‘Interpersonal relations stressors’, and ‘Action’, while ‘Working environment stressors’ was protective for reported adverse events. Demographic predictors of adverse events were longer work hours and male gender, while those working in critical care units, general wards, and other wards had higher reported adverse events than for emergency wards. Conclusions Occupational stress and CF are associated with the reporting of adverse events. Further research is needed to assess interventions to address occupational stress and CF to reduce adverse events. Impact Adverse events compromise patient safety, lead to increased healthcare costs, and impact nursing staff. Higher self‐reported adverse events were associated with higher reported stressors and CF. Understanding the factors that influence occupational stress, CF, and adverse events will support quality patient care and safety.

Background Bullying and discrimination may be indirectly associated with patient safety via their contribution to burnout, but research has yet to establish this. Aims The aims of this study were to investigate the relationships between workplace bullying, perceived discrimination, levels of burnout and patient safety perceptions in nurses and midwives and to assess whether bullying and discrimination were more frequently experienced by Black, Asian and minority ethnic than White nurses and midwives. Methods In total, 528 nurses and midwives were recruited from four hospitals in the United Kingdom to complete a cross-sectional survey between February and March 2017. The survey included items on bullying, discrimination, burnout and individual level and ward level patient safety perceptions. Data were analysed using path analysis. Results The results were reported according to the STROBE checklist. Bullying and discrimination were significantly associated with higher burnout. Higher burnout was in turn associated with poorer individual- and ward-level patient safety perceptions. Experiences of discrimination were three times more common among Black, Asian and minority ethnic than White nurses and midwives, but there was no significant difference in experiences of bullying. Conclusions Bullying and discrimination are indirectly associated with patient safety perceptions via their influence on burnout. Healthcare organisations seeking to improve patient care should implement strategies to reduce workplace bullying and discrimination.

“…From printer jams to traffic jams, life is full of daily hassles that interrupt our goal‐directed behavior. How we handle small hassles and interruptions has implications on how we function, including effects on our mood (DeLongis, Folkman, & Lazarus, ), cognitive performance (Louch, O'Hara, Gardner, & O'Connor, ; Sliwinski, Smyth, Hofer, & Stawski, ), and ultimately on our well‐being and health (Aldwin, Jeong, Igarashi, Choun, & Spiro, ; Asselmann, Wittchen, Lieb, & Beesdo‐Baum, ; Charles, Piazza, Mogle, Sliwinski, & Almeida, ). This makes interruptions a potent stressor at the workplace and elsewhere.…”

Objective The present research examines the role of individual differences in self‐regulation (i.e., demand‐related action–state orientation) on initiative to resume an interrupted task. Method In three studies (N1 = 208, 55% male, Mage = 33.2; N2 = 457, 62% male, Mage = 31.7; N3 = 210, 60% male, Mage = 32.6), participants were notified about a network interruption while playing a computer game. Participants could dismiss the interrupting notification by clicking a continue button or wait until the notification timed out. We manipulated demand by presenting notifications during (demand) versus after game rounds (no demand). Results Demand‐related action orientation was associated with higher probability to dismiss the notification during a game round, controlling for dismissal after a game round. Findings occurred when controlling for task ability and task motivation, were specific for demand‐ and not threat‐related action orientation, were complemented by shorter dismissal latencies, and were stable across interruption timeouts (Studies 1–3). Exposure through repetition resulted in adaptation (Study 3). Conclusion The findings suggest that people with lower action orientation have less self‐regulatory ability to initiate goal‐directed action and resume interrupted tasks—even if they are just a click away. Findings are discussed within the framework of Personality Systems Interactions theory.
