The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between nurse staffing hours and 6 quality indicators: physical restraints, weight loss, incontinence, late loss activities of daily living decline, stages 1 to 4 pressure ulcers, and problem behaviors toward others. Increasing registered nurse staff hours may achieve better quality indicator scores for pressure ulcers. An increase in nurse aide hours should be carefully weighed with the amount of registered nurse staff time available for supervision and direction.
本研究的目的是检验护士工作时长与6项质量指标之间的关联：身体约束、体重减轻、失禁、日常生活活动能力后期下降、1至4期压疮以及对他人的问题行为。增加注册护士的工作时长可能会使压疮质量指标得分更高。护士助理工作时长的增加应与可用于监督和指导的注册护士工作时间量进行仔细权衡。
