  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Nurses frequently encounter situations requiring high levels of directed attention in their daily practice.
  • Understanding these attention-demanding situations is crucial for improving nurses' well-being and work environment.
  • Socio-demographic factors may influence how nurses perceive and experience workplace demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify specific situations that demand nurses' attention in the workplace.
  • To examine whether socio-demographic variables influence nurses' judgment of these attention demands.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study utilizing the "Directed Attention Demands" instrument, which was translated and validated for use in Brazil.
  • Data analysis was performed using SAS statistical software.

    • Main Results:

    • The highest-scoring attention demand situations included "watching a patient suffer," "making numerous rapid decisions," "caring for families with emotional needs," "insufficient time for patient emotional support," and "family teaching requirements."
    • Statistical differences in the perception of these demands were observed across variables such as age, marital status, professional qualification, work shift, and weekly hours worked.
    • Nurses' demographic characteristics significantly correlate with their reported attention demands.

    Conclusions:

    • The study identified key workplace situations that place significant attentional demands on nurses.
    • Perceptions of these demands are influenced by nurses' socio-demographic characteristics, indicating a need for tailored support strategies.
    • Findings underscore the importance for healthcare managers to implement strategies aimed at mitigating these identified sources of demand for nursing staff.
