This study aims at examining nurses' work in somatic and psychiatric wards in a hospital in Sweden.
It is asked whether the humanistic ideology, emphasizing holistic care and human interaction more than practical skills, which has become widespread in the Swedish nursing education programmes, fits with the actual work that nurses carry out.
In this study, diaries on work activities were written during 5 days by 30 nurses.
It turned out that the nurses generally spend 38% of their working time with patients (nursing) and the remaining time on other activities. Discussion There are certain differences between clinics and they can to some extent be explained by differences in work organization.
The results in this piece of research indicate that a relatively small proportion of nurses' working time is used for general and specific nursing. It should be asked whether or to what extent the humanistic and holistic perspective taught in nursing education will be utilized in practical nursing.
本研究旨在考察瑞典一家医院的内科和精神科病房护士的工作情况。
有人质疑,在瑞典护理教育项目中广泛普及的、强调整体护理和人际互动甚于实践技能的人文主义理念,是否符合护士实际开展的工作。
本研究中,30 名护士在 5 天内记录了工作活动日记。
结果显示,护士一般将 38%的工作时间用于照顾患者(护理),其余时间用于其他活动。讨论:不同科室之间存在一定差异,这种差异在一定程度上可以用工作组织的差异来解释。
这项研究的结果表明,护士工作时间中用于一般性和特定护理的比例相对较小。应该思考一下,护理教育中所教授的人文主义和整体观点在实际护理中会被运用到何种程度。
