Moral distress and professional stress affect the lives of acute care nurses everyday. The impact of these stressors may be causing nurses to leave the acute care setting. This paper will outline the findings from a descriptive study of acute care nurses in Northeast Florida. The research was conducted in an effort to highlight some of the critical factors that impact nurses in the acute care setting and affect their intent to stay at an institution. The concepts of moral distress and professional stress in relation to nursing retention are highlighted and some strategies for lessening of these stressors are proposed. The study was correlational and conducted among 234 nurses in an institutional setting. The study included an online survey based on established Moral Distress and Professional Stress tools. In addition, a qualitative section was included to explore the nurses’ experiences of stressful inpatient situations. The results of this study demonstrated that when combined, both professional stress and moral distress items were predictive of the nurses’ intent to stay at the institution ( p <.001).

Our aim is to enhance the safety and efficiency of all healthcare staff by designing patient rooms that meet the physical and cognitive needs of those providing direct and indirect patient care in hospital settings. A mixed-methods study was employed, where findings were compiled from twenty-six environmental services personnel across study activities. The insights were grouped into six categories of challenges with the design of hospital rooms in acute care settings: room cleaning, bathroom, room size, furniture, communication, and a miscellaneous ‘other’ category. There are design implications for storage, room design features, locations of room items, and fabrics and finishes.
