Abstract

The issue of health workforce shortage and in particular of nurses, has been debated globally for almost three decades (Aiken & Mullinix 1987, Aiken et al. 1996, 2001, 2010), and has been exacerbated by the recent global financial crisis. The European RN4CAST project has shifted focus from considering only nursing workforce planning and workforce volumes to considering the impact of adequate nurse-patient ratios and work environment on patient safety and the quality of care (Sermeus et al. 2011).
