more than 15 ICU beds, caring for dying patients or providing preand
postmortem care within the last week, symptom control not
ensured jointly by physicians and nurses, and no routine unit-level
meetings.
Conclusions: Over 70% of ICU workers reported perceived conflicts,
which were often considered severe and were significantly associated
with job strain. Workload, inadequate communication, and
end-of-life care emerged as important potential targets for improvement.
