To compare the nursing workload in an oncology intensive care unit according to the condition of COVID-19 infection.
A retrospective cohort study. The Nursing Activities Score was used to measure the workload and document analysis for data extraction. The medical records were divided into a group of patients with COVID-19 and another group of patients without the infection.
The values of the Nursing Activities Score were not different depending on the sociodemographic variables, but the average of this score was statistically different depending on whether the patient had the diagnosis of COVID-19 or not, being higher in those who had the disease.
It was proved that the nursing workload is high in the context of the oncology intensive care unit. However, COVID-19 increased this score even more, with the Nursing Activities Score being an important tool to size the team in this context.
比较肿瘤科重症监护病房(oncology intensive care unit)中 COVID-19 感染患者的护理工作量。
回顾性队列研究。使用护理活动评分(Nursing Activities Score)来衡量工作量,并进行文档分析以提取数据。将病历分为 COVID-19 感染组和未感染组。
护理活动评分值与社会人口学变量无关,但根据患者是否患有 COVID-19 进行分组时,该评分的平均值存在统计学差异,患有 COVID-19 的患者评分更高。
在肿瘤科重症监护病房的背景下,护理工作量很大。然而,COVID-19 使这一分数进一步增加,护理活动评分是在这种情况下确定团队规模的重要工具。
