新西兰急诊护士报告说,由于人员短缺和系统性问题,普遍存在虐待和不安全情况。 New Zealand ER nurses report widespread abuse and unsafe conditions due to staffing shortages and systemic issues.

新西兰护士组织在圣诞节和新年期间对急诊部门护士进行的调查发现,84%的人经历了不可接受的行为,包括喊叫(94%)、威胁(35%)和人身攻击(39%)。 A New Zealand Nurses Organisation survey of emergency department nurses during the Christmas and New Year period found 84% experienced unacceptable behavior, including shouting (94%), threats (35%), and physical aggression (39%). 至少有55%报告事故期间人员配备不足,造成不安全状况。 At least 55% reported understaffing during incidents, contributing to unsafe conditions. 尽管报告事件占56%,但只有34%使用正式报告系统,原因是不信任和时间限制。 Despite 56% reporting incidents, only 34% used formal reporting systems, citing distrust and time constraints. 护士将侵犯事件不断增加归咎于长时间等待、病人疼痛、药物使用和种族主义等系统性问题,而工作人员短缺则使这些问题更加恶化。 Nurses attribute rising aggression to long wait times, patient pain, substance use, and systemic issues like racism, all worsened by staff shortages. 他们要求安全的人员配备,每周7天每天24小时提供经过培训的安保,以及作为正在进行的集体协议谈判的一部分更好地征聘人员。 They are demanding safe staffing, 24/7 trained security, and better recruitment as part of ongoing collective agreement talks.
