Given the shortage of critical care nurses, emphasis has been placed upon improving their working lives through the implementation of flexible work hours.
This descriptive exploratory study evaluated the effects of the implementation of the 12-hour roster in a regional intensive care unit (ICU). Staff (n = 19) completed a survey 12 weeks following the implementation of the 12-hour roster.
The study demonstrated widespread acceptance (92%) positive impact on physical and psychological well-being and increased work satisfaction (58%) for the nursing participants. Similarly, nurses working both the 8- and 12-hour rosters (75%), the doctors and allied health care workers all identified increased continuity of patient care as an outcome of the 12-hour shift. Participants strongly agreed that 12-hour rostering was a good recruitment (67%) and retention (75%) strategy.
In an environment with considerable shortages of experienced critical care nurses, the use of flexible shift patterns such as the 12-hour roster was a positive recruitment and recruitment strategy.
鉴于重症监护护士短缺,人们一直强调通过实施灵活的工作时间来改善他们的工作生活。
这项描述性探索性研究评估了在一个地区重症监护病房(ICU)实施12小时排班制的效果。在实施12小时排班制12周后,19名工作人员完成了一项调查。
该研究表明,护理参与者普遍接受(92%),对身心健康有积极影响,工作满意度提高(58%)。同样,轮值8小时和12小时的护士(75%)、医生和专职医护人员都认为12小时轮班的结果是患者护理的连续性增加。参与者强烈同意12小时排班是一项良好的招聘(67%)和留用(75%)策略。
在经验丰富的重症监护护士严重短缺的环境中,采用12小时排班制等灵活的轮班模式是一种积极的招聘和留用策略。
