Safe, effective and ethical nurse staffing requires that there is a sufficient number and appropriate use and mix of competent nurses available to care for patients. Because of its close connections with patient safety, nurse staffing has become an important concern for governments, health-care providers and the public. This article provides highlights from the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation research report Evaluation of Patient Safety and Nurse Staffing (2005), which focused on the connections between nurse staffing and patient safety. The report findings were discussed at a roundtable of decision-makers and experts, and these deliberations and the literature evidence were used to create the final synthesis. The authors present one of the key recommendations for nurse staffing that arose from the synthesis.
安全、有效且符合伦理的护士人员配置要求有足够数量、得到恰当使用且具备能力的护士组合来护理患者。由于与患者安全密切相关，护士人员配置已成为政府、医疗服务提供者和公众关注的重要问题。本文重点介绍了加拿大卫生服务研究基金会2005年发布的研究报告《患者安全与护士人员配置评估》中的要点，该报告聚焦于护士人员配置与患者安全之间的联系。报告结果在一次由决策者和专家参加的圆桌会议上进行了讨论，这些讨论及文献证据被用于形成最终的综合报告。作者展示了综合报告中提出的关于护士人员配置的一项关键建议。
