Nursing workload (NWL) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an essential parameter of patient safety. However, little attention has been dedicated to measuring NWL in ICU about patients surgically treated with myocardial ischemia (MI). Methods: The objectives of this study are to describe and examine the NWL by applying the Nursing Activities Score in patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery and developed MI in the ICU. The statistical significance was set at 0.05. The statistical program SPSS 22.0 was used for the analysis.
The mean age was 69.1 years, whereas 32.4% of the patients had MI. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia were the main comorbidities. On the first day in ICU, the NWL was similar in all patients (p = 0.947). In the following days, the NWL was significantly higher in patients with MI (p < 0.001). The NWL was considerably higher in patients with MI who died.
The present results are essential for planning and using nursing resources according to the care needs of postoperative patients with MI.
重症监护病房（ICU）的护理工作量（NWL）是患者安全的一个重要参数。然而，对于接受心肌缺血（MI）手术治疗的ICU患者，测量NWL的关注较少。方法：本研究的目的是通过应用护理活动评分来描述和检查在ICU接受非心脏手术并发生MI的患者的NWL。统计学显著性设定为0.05。使用统计软件SPSS 22.0进行分析。
平均年龄为69.1岁，32.4%的患者发生MI。高血压、糖尿病和血脂异常是主要的合并症。在ICU的第一天，所有患者的NWL相似（p = 0.947）。在接下来的日子里，MI患者的NWL显著更高（p < 0.001）。死亡的MI患者的NWL明显更高。
目前的结果对于根据MI术后患者的护理需求规划和使用护理资源至关重要。
