Results of part of a study aimed at evaluating the implications of different nurse staffing levels were reported. Two samples of 30 patients were observed in the two hospitals and measures were obtained of the proportion of time they were involved in adaptive and maladaptive activities, the frequency with which they interacted in particular ways with the nursing staff, and their Adaptive Behavior Scale scores. When these various measures were examined, we found that those patients who needed more attention received it but not necessarily of the appropriate type. While such results are understandable and even perhaps predictable, they do serve to reveal a situation deserving remedial attention. We in fact suggested that one possible means of countering this tendency to ignore the less attractive patients is for the nursing staff to be assigned much smaller groups of patients than is customary.
一项旨在评估不同护士配备水平影响的研究部分结果已公布。在两家医院观察了两组各30名患者的样本，并获取了他们参与适应性和适应不良活动的时间比例、与护理人员以特定方式互动的频率以及他们的适应性行为量表得分等数据。在检查这些不同的指标时，我们发现那些需要更多关注的患者确实得到了关注，但不一定是合适类型的关注。虽然这样的结果是可以理解的，甚至可能是可预测的，但它们确实揭示了一种值得补救关注的情况。事实上，我们建议应对这种忽视那些不太有吸引力患者倾向的一种可能方法是，给护理人员分配比通常少得多的患者群体。
