Further analysis and refinements of the perceived stressors in intensive care units (PS-ICU) scale: a French nation-wide cross-sectional multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Assessing sources of job stress in intensive care units is a critical issue for preventing many occupational health and care-related issues, such as burnout, voluntary turnover and decrease in quality and safety of care.
