Why the study?
Higher psychological stress in hospital inpatients is linked to poorer outcomes, but larger high-quality studies are needed to understand the association between in-hospital stressors and adverse outcomes.
Is in-hospital psychological stress associated with adverse patient outcomes in hospital inpatients?
Is in-hospital psychological stress associated with adverse patient outcomes in hospital inpatients?
In-hospital psychological stress is associated with poorer patient outcomes, though more high-quality studies are needed to better understand this relationship.
May warrant in-hospital stress screening; leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes.
Higher levels of psychological stress experienced by hospital inpatients are associated with poorer patient outcomes. However, more high-quality, larger scale studies are required to better understand the association between in-hospital stressors and adverse outcomes.
