Encouraging supportive relationships among the staff nurses can help them cope with the stress and workload of caring for higher acuity clients. It can create a positive work environment where the nurses feel supported and can rely on each other for assistance when needed.

Creating a rigid management system may also increase stress and reduce job satisfaction for the nurses.
