Missed nursing care is a multifaceted patient safety issue receiving increased attention among healthcare scholars worldwide. There is limited research on missed nursing care in the Jordanian healthcare context. The current study sought to examine the perceptions of Jordanian nurses toward the amount and types of missed nursing care in medical and surgical wards. We also examined the differences in missed care items between public, private, and university hospitals in Jordan. This was a cross-sectional study using the tool. Data collection spanned 4 months between March and July 2021. The final study sample consisted of 672 registered nurses employed in five public, three private, and two university hospitals in Jordan. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficent test. Of the 672 registered nurses who participated, the majority were females ( = 421; 62.6%). Most participants held a bachelor's degree in nursing ( = 577; 85.9%). The three most common missed nursing activities in the participating hospitals were: ambulation, oral care, and emotional support. Nurses working in public hospitals reported the highest missed nursing care. The age and number of patients under care significantly correlated with missed nursing care. The findings could help nursing managers develop plans to reduce missed nursing care in their healthcare institutions.
护理缺失是一个多方面的患者安全问题，在全球医疗保健学者中受到越来越多的关注。在约旦的医疗保健背景下，关于护理缺失的研究有限。本研究旨在调查约旦护士对内科和外科病房护理缺失的数量和类型的看法。我们还研究了约旦公立、私立和大学医院之间护理缺失项目的差异。这是一项使用该工具的横断面研究。数据收集于2021年3月至7月期间进行，为期4个月。最终的研究样本包括约旦五家公立医院、三家私立医院和两家大学医院的672名注册护士。数据采用描述性统计、方差分析和皮尔逊相关系数检验进行分析。在参与研究的672名注册护士中，大多数为女性（n = 421；62.6%）。大多数参与者拥有护理学学士学位（n = 577；85.9%）。参与研究的医院中最常见的三项护理缺失活动是：行走、口腔护理和情感支持。在公立医院工作的护士报告的护理缺失最多。护理患者的年龄和数量与护理缺失显著相关。这些研究结果有助于护理管理者制定计划，以减少其医疗机构中的护理缺失情况。
