To evaluate responses of registered nurse members of the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) to a survey that sought their recommendations for staffing guidelines and their perceptions of the consequences of inadequate nurse staffing. The goal was to use these member data to inform the work of the AWHONN nurse staffing research team.
Secondary analysis of responses to the 2010 AWHONN nurse staffing survey.

AWHONN members (N = 884).
Review of data from an online survey of AWHONN members through the use of thematic analysis for descriptions of the consequences of inadequate nurse staffing during the childbirth process.
Three main themes emerged as consequences of inadequate staffing or being short-staffed: Missed Care, Potential for Failure to Rescue, and Job-Related Stress and Dissatisfaction. These themes are consistent with those previously identified in the literature related to inadequate nurse staffing.
Based on the responses from participants in the 2010 AWHONN nurse staffing survey, consequences of inadequate staffing can be quite serious and may put patients at risk for preventable harm.

对2010年AWHONN护士人员配备调查的回应进行二次分析。

AWHONN成员（N = 884）。
通过主题分析回顾对AWHONN成员在线调查的数据，以描述分娩过程中护士人员配备不足的后果。
人员配备不足或人员短缺产生了三个主要后果主题：护理缺失、未能及时抢救的可能性以及与工作相关的压力和不满。这些主题与先前文献中确定的与护士人员配备不足相关的主题一致。
根据2010年AWHONN护士人员配备调查参与者的回应，人员配备不足的后果可能相当严重，可能使患者面临可预防伤害的风险。
