Abstract

Mental ill health of healthcare workers has additionally been associated with an increased risk of patient safety incidents, poorer quality of care due to low professionalism, and reduced patient satisfaction [25]; medical errors [26,27]; quality of care, patient falls, medication errors, and infections [28]; lower patient satisfaction [29]; and patient safety outcomes [30]. [...]in examining the question of how can workplace-based organizational interventions improve the mental health and wellbeing of healthcare workers, we elected to conduct a realist review that takes into consideration (a) a wider definition of outcomes of interest; (b) diverse study designs worthy for inclusion in realist analyses; and (c) a comprehensive range of healthcare workers. 2. Five of the 60 were articles on the same study(ies) as other article(s), and therefore their analysis was combined to represent one study/intervention. [...]this review comprises 55 unique studies represented in 60 research articles (listed in Table 2; a full summary of the included articles is available in Table S1). Data Extraction General demographic and characteristic information extracted from the selected studies were country where the study took place; type of healthcare worker (nurse, physician, etc.); type of healthcare workplace (hospital, residential care facility, etc.); and type of specialized care, if applicable (e.g., intensive care unit, emergency medicine, etc.).
