Abstract
|
|
|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the process from occurrence of a hospital nurse¡¯s suicide to workers¡¯ compen- sation approval, responses of the parties involved, issues debated during approval deliberations, and significant policy changes resulting from the incident.
Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with involved parties and collected various documents, including newspaper articles, forum proceedings, and the agency report on determi- nation of workers¡¯ compensation. Content analysis was performed on the collected data.
Results: A Joint Task Force continuously reported its progress and findings through mass media such as newspaper, radio, and TV. These activ- ities exerted pressure on a government agency to conduct an occupational disease review and significantly impacted the workers¡¯ compensation approval. The agency recognized associations between the hospital¡¯s inadequate nurse training and the suicide but did not confirm the excessive overtime and workplace harassment experienced by the nurse as causes of the suicide. This case¡¯s media coverage and impact resulted in a law prohibiting workplace har- assment and a hospital system dedicating at least one nurse to training activities.
Conclusions: This incident had a significant social impact as the first case of workers¡¯ compensation approval for a hospital nurse¡¯s suicide. However, the case produced no structural changes in nurses¡¯ working conditions such as heavy workloads.
