The best choices for interventions are those that address the immediate needs of the nurses to reduce their stress levels and provide support. Offering regular breaks and healthy snacks can help to reduce physical stress, while providing coverage for debriefing sessions can offer emotional support. Doing an audit on nurses' care of patients with negative outcomes and asking them to develop a new staffing system may be important interventions in the long term, but are not immediate solutions to the current stress levels of the nurses.
