The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Science
  • Hospital Administration

Background:

  • Nursing workload directly correlates with patient service quality.
  • Managing nursing workload in intensive care units (ICUs) is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors influencing nursing workload in ICUs.
  • Study conducted at hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional, analytical-descriptive study.
  • Survey of 400 ICU nurses using a validated researcher-made questionnaire.
  • Data analyzed via exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA, CFA).

Main Results:

  • Twenty-five factors categorized into structure, process, and activity.
  • Key factors identified: unclear responsibilities (0.709), ward capacity mismatch (0.639), and assisting trainees (0.589).

Conclusions:

  • Nursing workload is multifactorial.
  • Clear responsibilities, appropriate patient admission, technology adoption, and training can reduce workload.
