Abstract:
Understanding unfinished nursing care and its relationship with modifiable care environment factors is crucial for the service delivery to long-term frail patients. This secondary analysis aimed to explore the associations between characteristics of the care environment and unfinished nursing care, as reported by nursing care workers in Norwegian nursing homes. Of 931 respondents (37% response rate) from 66 nursing homes, six care environment characteristics correlated with at least two types of unfinished nursing care. Resources and Multidisciplinary collaboration showed a positive association with all four unfinished care categories. Input and acknowledgement, Professional, or Interpersonal leadership were not associated to unfinished care. In summary, our findings suggest that nursing care workers reporting positive care environment descriptions also reported lower frequencies of unfinished nursing care. This study offers insights crucial for human resource management which ultimately can be used to improve patient outcomes in nursing homes.
