Newly published: Nursing care - occupational strain and working conditions

STATmagazin Logo Gesundheit
In 2007, some 4.4 million persons worked in the health sector. By far the largest occupational group among the health service occupations is the nurses with a total of 712,000 employees. That occupational group is of central importance for the medical care of the population, not only because of the large number of employees but especially because of the high degree of responsibility involved in nursing care and attendance of the patients - so there is sufficient reason to examine their strain and working conditions. For this purpose, data of health personnel accounts, basic data of the hospital statistics of the Federation and the Länder and of the microcensus are used. More information on our latest STATmagazin.
