Various staff behaviors in a nursing home were sampled seven times a day, 5 days a week over 37 months and were coded separately for LPNs, RNs, and NAs. The behavior most frequently observed was patient care, which occurred during 56.9% of the samples. We observed staff interacting with patients during 10.7% and with other staff during 19.5% of the samples. The LPNs displayed significantly more patient care behaviors and NAs significantly more nonwork behaviors than other nursing staff. RNs displayed the least nonwork behavior. We conclude that nursing staff devote most of their time to patient needs and relatively little time to nonproductive activities.
在一家养老院，对各类员工行为进行了抽样调查。调查为期37个月，每周5天，每天7次，并分别对执业护士（LPNs）、注册护士（RNs）和护理助理（NAs）的行为进行编码。观察到的最频繁的行为是患者护理，在56.9%的样本中出现。在10.7%的样本中，我们观察到员工与患者互动，在19.5%的样本中观察到员工与其他员工互动。与其他护理人员相比，执业护士表现出显著更多的患者护理行为，护理助理表现出显著更多的非工作行为。注册护士表现出的非工作行为最少。我们得出结论，护理人员将大部分时间用于满足患者需求，而用于非生产性活动的时间相对较少。
