Faculty Perceptions of Workload: A Human Factor's Approach to Instrument Development.

Denise Neill

    Journal of Nursing Measurement
    |April 12, 2017
    PubMed
    Summary

    Existing nursing faculty workload measures are insufficient. The new Nurse Faculty Workload Assessment (NFWA) tool, developed using a human factors approach, better captures faculty workload complexity and perceptions.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education Research
    • Human Factors Engineering
    • Occupational Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Current nursing faculty workload metrics fail to encompass the multifaceted nature of faculty responsibilities.
    • A human factors approach was employed to address the subjective and complex dimensions of nursing faculty workload.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a new instrument, the Nurse Faculty Workload Assessment (NFWA), for evaluating nursing faculty workload.
    • To incorporate the subjective perceptions of faculty into workload assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey data collected from 565 nursing faculty members.
    • Psychometric properties of the developed instrument were established using statistical analysis.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the NFWA demonstrated strong reliability and internal consistency.
    • Results confirmed the interrelationships between activity complexity, performance conditions, and individual characteristics, aligning with human factors workload theories.

    Conclusions:

    • The NFWA offers a valuable tool for administrators to assess nursing faculty's perception of workload expectations.
    • Further research is recommended to refine the NFWA and compare its findings with existing workload calculation methods across diverse nursing programs.
