Workplace Reintegration Programs, Policies, and Procedures for Nurses Experiencing Operational Stress Injury: A Scoping Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nurses experience elevated rates of operational stress injuries (OSIs). This can necessitate taking leave from work and subsequently engaging in a workplace reintegration process. An unsuccessful process can have long term impacts on a nurse's career, affecting the individual, their family, and broader community, while contributing to nursing shortages. A knowledge gap regarding the workplace reintegration of nurses experiencing mental health challenges, impedes the development and implementation of initiatives that might increase the success of nurses reintegrating into the workplace. This scoping review explored the existing literature concerning workplace reintegration for nurses experiencing OSIs.
