Preventive measures applied by RNs in occupational health settings: a descriptive study.
1. Registered nurses employed in hospital settings spent more time with primary prevention measures than did nurses employed in textile settings. 2. Nurses employed less than 3 years spent more time with primary prevention activities than did nurses employed more than 15 years. 3. The education of nurses in the last decade includes an increasing emphasis on wellness models. 4. A commitment to education, research, and practice will facilitate measures that focus on primary prevention.
