First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at whether having regular, structured meetings where the whole ICU team discusses tough ethical decisions (like whether to continue life support) improves how nurses feel about their work. About 450 patients were involved, and the researchers measured things like job satisfaction and the ethical climate. The goal was to see if these meetings help nurses feel more included and less frustrated.
