TITLE: NURSING STAFFING AND MISSED NURSING CARE SURVAY AT AST PU – URBINO HOSPITAL BACKGROUND: Missed nursing care, also known as missed nursing care or omission of care, refers to any aspect of required patient care that is only partially completed, delayed, or not completed at all. There are many reasons for omitting these activities. Staffing shortages are often recognized as one of the main ones. Various models exist for defining staffing in healthcare organizations. Among these, one currently being tested, developed by AGENAS and the Ministry of Health, uses data provided by DRGs to define the complexity of care and therefore the length of care. PURPOSE: Evaluate the impact of staffing levels on the frequency of missed care in four units of the Urbino-based AST PU, a single hospital facility, and determine whether, according to nurses' perceptions, a potential staffing increase could reduce missed nursing care. The units studied are: cardiology, medicine and LPA, orthopedics and traumatology, and gynecology and obstetrics. METHODS: The tool used to achieve this objective was the administration of a validated questionnaire to nurses in the UUOOs studied. The questionnaire, titled "Survey of Missed Care in Urbino Hospital," incorporates items from the "Misscare Survey," taken from the study "Missed Nursing Care: A Concept Analysis" by Kalish. The questionnaire is divided into two parts: the first surveys nurses' perceptions of certain missed care, while the second explores the causes that, according to nurses, lead to missed care. Finally, nurses are asked whether an increase in the number of nurses, nursing assistants, or both could lead to a reduction in missed care. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: From the analysis of the data provided by nurses' responses to the questionnaire, it is clear that, even in the Urbino hospital's nursing units studied, some nursing-related care activities are omitted for various reasons. However, it is important to note that the frequency of these missed treatments is quite low. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the potential increase in the number of nurses and/or healthcare assistants envisaged by the use of the new NHS nursing staffing termination method could have a positive impact on reducing missed treatments. It should be noted that this aspect has already been partially verified in the nursing units studied, as the nursing time envisaged by the current model requires a higher level of staffing than required by current legislation, although in some nursing units it is lower than the Agenas standard. This is likely the reason why the frequency of missed treatments was low.
TITOLO: STAFFING INFERMIERISTICO E MISSED NURSING CARE INDAGINE PRESSO AST PU – PRESIDIO OSPEDALIERO UNICO SEDE DI URBINO INTRODUZIONE: Le Missed Nursing Care, note anche come cure infermieristiche mancate o omissione di cure, si riferiscono a qualsiasi aspetto dell'assistenza al paziente richiesto che viene completato solo parzialmente, ritardato o non completato affatto. Sono molteplici le cause che portano ad omettere queste attività. Tra le principali viene riconosciuta spesso la carenza di personale. Esistono diversi modelli per la definizione degli staffing nelle aziende sanitarie. Tra questi in sperimentazione ce n’è uno, ideato da AGENAS e ministero della salute, che utilizza i dati forniti dai DRG per definire la complessità assistenziale e quindi i tempi assistenziali. OBIETTIVI: valutare l’ impatto dei livelli di staffing sulla frequenza delle cure mancate in 4 UUOO dell’ AST PU, presidio ospedaliero unico, sede di Urbino, e capire se, secondo la percezione degli infermieri, un eventuale aumento di personale possa ridurre le missed nursing care. Le UUOO oggetto di studio sono: cardiologia, medicina e LPA, ortopedia e traumatologia, ginecologia ed ostetricia. MATERIALI E METODI: Lo strumento utilizzato per conseguire l’obiettivo preposto è la somministrazione di un questionario validato agli infermieri delle UUOO oggetto dello studio Il questionario, dal titolo “Indagine sulle cure mancate nell’Ospedale di Urbino”, riprende gli items del questionario “Misscare Survey”, tratto dallo studio “Missed nursing care: a concept analysis” di Kalish. Il questionario è suddiviso in due parti: nella prima viene rilevata la percezione degli infermieri rispetto a determinate cure mancate, mentre nella seconda vengono indagate le cause che, secondo gli infermieri, portano alle cure mancate. Infine viene chiesto agli infermieri se un eventuale aumento di infermieri, OSS, o entrambi, può portare ad una riduzione delle cure mancate. RISULTATI E CONCLUSIONI: Dall’analisi dei dati forniti dalle risposte degli infermieri al questionario, si evince che, anche nelle UUOO dell’ospedale di Urbino prese in oggetto, ci sono alcune attività assistenziali proprie dell’infermiere che, per diversi motivi, vengono omesse. Tuttavia è importante evidenziare come la frequenza di queste cure mancate sia piuttosto bassa. L’ obiettivo di questo studio è valutare se l’eventuale aumento del numero di infermieri e/o OSS previsto dall’utilizzo del nuovo metodo di terminazione dello staffing infermieristico del SSN, possa avere una ricaduta positiva sulla riduzione delle cure mancate. Va evidenziato come, quest’aspetto sia già parzialmente verificato nelle UUOO prese in oggetto, in quanto il tempo assistenziale previsto dal modello attualmente in uso prevede un livello di staffing, seppur in alcune UUOO inferiore a quello Agenas, maggiorato rispetto a quanto previsto dalla normativa vigente. E’ probabilmente questo il motivo per il quale la frequenza delle cure mancate è risultata bassa.
