It was carried out in the home health services of the district municipality.The Information form, Nursing Activities Report Form, Cheltenham Patient Classification Scale were used. The time-motion study method was implemented to perform the workload analysis. The nurses allocated 68.02 minutes to direct care, 61.02 minutes to indirect care, 53.26 minutes to their work unit-related activities, and 119.42 minutes to their personal activities.Among all the activities performed during the day, the longest time was allocated to educational activities.
