New publications to improve the health and safety for healthcare workers

The New Quality of Work Initiative (INQA) published six brochures for a better health and safety of healthcare workers.

To support the implementation of quality- and health-promoting work designs in nursing and care facilities, INQA has made available six brochures in collaboration with the Institute of Work and Technology in Gelsenkirchen which developed six brochures together with its partners as part of the project "Activity Aids in Nursing Practices".

These brochures address are the most common psychosocial risks for employees - time pressure in healthcare, leadership, communication and interaction, compatibility of family life and professional life, nursing patients with dementia and the debureaucratisation of nursing. The brochures can be downloaded.

The New Quality of Work Initiative (INQA) is a joint project of the Federal Government, the States, social insurance institutions and the social partners. All members of the Initiative approach the promotion of a new quality of work as a very important task, and equally common challenge for the future. Healthy work conditions for nurses and caregivers are the goal of the initiative.
