Across Europe, nurses’ shortages are placing an increasing mental burden on the nursing workforce. A recent report from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA, 2024) shows that nearly half (44%) of healthcare workforce in Europe reported experiencing acute stress, while 37% faced anxiety.
As such, EFN is a partner in the KEEPCARING project, which aims at supporting the resilience of the nursing workforce by focusing on reducing stress and preventing burnout among healthcare professionals in EU hospital settings. The project will do this by combining non-digital, digital, and AI-driven solutions to address individual, team, and organizational stressors. By co-creating innovative interventions, KEEPCARING aims to foster a healthier, more resilient healthcare workforce ensuring better care for patients and more sustainable healthcare systems.
To find out more about the work being conducted in the KEEPCARING Project, and how EFN is contributing to ensuring that nurses’ voices are well integrated in the project activities and results, you can listen here to the new podcast recorded by EFN.
