Adverse nurse outcomes: correlation to nurses' workload, staffing, and shift rotation in Kuwaiti hospitals.
Appl Nurs Res. 2008 Aug; 21(3):139-46.AN

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify adverse outcomes to nurses in relation to their daily patient load, nursing care activities, staffing, and shift rotation. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from medical and surgical nurses (N = 784). Skipping tea/coffee breaks (95%), feeling responsible for more patients than they could safely care for (87%), inadequate help available (86%), inadequate time to document care (80%), verbal abuse by a patient or a visitor (77%), and concern about quality of care (71%) were the major reported adverse outcomes related to short staffing, increased patient load, and increased nursing care activities.
