Efficient management of nursing workload in the intensive care unit (ICU) is essential for patient safety, care quality, and nurse well-being. Current ICU-specific workload assessment scores lack comprehensive coverage of nursing activities and perceived workload.
The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between ICU nurses' perceived workload and the Nine Equivalents of Nursing Manpower Use Score (NEMS).
In a 45-bed adult ICU at a tertiary academic hospital, nurses' perceived shift workload (measured with an 11-point Likert scale) was correlated with the NEMS, calculated manually and electronically.
The study included 1734 observations. The perceived workload was recorded for 77.6% of observations. A weak positive correlation was found between perceived and objectively measured workload.
Findings indicate a need to consider the multifaceted nature of nursing activities and individual workload perceptions in the ICU.
在重症监护病房(ICU)中,高效管理护理工作量对于患者安全、护理质量和护士福祉至关重要。目前 ICU 特定的工作量评估评分缺乏对护理活动和感知工作量的全面涵盖。
本研究旨在评估 ICU 护士感知的工作量与护理人力使用的九个等同物评分(NEMS)之间的相关性。
在一家三级学术医院的 45 床成人 ICU 中,护士的轮班工作量(使用 11 点 Likert 量表测量)与手动和电子计算的 NEMS 进行了相关性分析。
该研究共纳入了 1734 次观察。记录了 77.6%的观察中感知的工作量。感知到的工作量与客观测量的工作量之间存在微弱的正相关。
研究结果表明,需要考虑 ICU 中护理活动的多面性和个体的工作量感知。
