Health Literacy
Education is essential to the workplace not only for the patient but for the nurse who is providing
care to the patient. Many healthcare workers such as nurses do not realize how important it is to
educate patients on managing their own care to prevent or reduce health issues. Stress symptoms may be
affecting your health, even though you might not realize it. You may think illness is to blame for that
nagging headache, your frequent insomnia or your decreased productivity at work. But stress may actually
be the culprit (American Psychological Association, 2010). Stress is a leading cause of staff turnover
even for nurses. Given the growing importance of the issues of recruitment and retention to nursing in
general, and some specialty areas in particular, there is a need to understand the career pathways of
nurses and the factors that impact upon these (Kovner & Knickman, 2011, p.361).
