Background And Purpose:
This work developed an Egyptian tool for evaluating rationing of nursing care in critical units and investigated its association with nursing organization attributes and six nurse-sensitive patient outcomes.
Methods:
Rationing of the nursing care questionnaire and concurrent record review were conducted to collect data.
Results:
Developed Egyptian tool of rationing of nursing care contained 36 items in six components. Adverse patient outcomes were detected as medication administration errors (27.9%), pulmonary infection (24.5%), pressure ulcer (20.3%), bloodstream infections (12.6%), urinary tract infections (10.3%), and patient falls (4.7%). The mild level of rationing of nursing care was positively associated with negative patient outcomes and negatively correlated with fair nursing organization attributes.
Conclusion:
The valid and reliable Egyptian tool for evaluating the rationing of nursing care was developed.
