| الوصف: | Background: A range of classification systems are in use for the measurement of nursing workload in Intensive Care Units. However, it is unknown to what extent the measured (objective) nursing workload, usually in terms of the amount of nursing activities, is related to the workload actually experienced (perceived) by nurses. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the association between the objective nursing workload and the perceived nursing workload and to identify other factors associated with the perceived nursing workload. Methods: We measured the objective nursing workload with the Nursing Activities Score and the perceived nursing workload with the NASA-Task Load Index during 228 shifts in eight different Intensive Care Units. We used linear mixed-effect regression models to analyze the association between the objective and perceived nursing workload. Furthermore, we investigated the association of patient characteristics (severity of illness, comorbidities, age, body mass index, and planned or unplanned admission), education level of the nurse, and contextual factors (numbers of patients per nurse, the type of shift (day, evening, night) and day of admission or discharge) with perceived nursing workload. We adjusted for confounders. Results: We did not find a significant association between the observed workload per nurse and perceived nursing workload (p=0.06). The APACHE-IV Acute Physiology Score of a patient was significantly associated with the perceived nursing workload, also after adjustment for confounders (p=0.02). None of the other patient characteristics was significantly associated with perceived nursing workload. Being a certified nurse or a student nurse was the only nursing or contextual factor significantly associated with the perceived nursing workload, also after adjustment for confounders (p=0.03). Conclusion: Workload is perceived differently by nurses compared to the objectively measured workload by the Nursing Activities Score. Both the severity of illness of the patient ... |
