Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Management
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Excessive workload is a significant issue for medical residents in Japan.
  • There is a growing demand for sustainable work-life balance among young healthcare professionals.
  • Government regulations mandate overtime work management in health institutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current workload of postgraduate residents.
  • To assess the work allocation patterns among residents.
  • To utilize a mobile application for precise workload measurement.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021.
  • Postgraduate residents from three major teaching hospitals participated.
  • A mobile application was used for residents to record work activities, including patient care, education, research, administration, and personal time.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-nine residents participated, reporting a mean of 11 hours and 45 minutes of work and 6 hours and 18 minutes of sleep.
  • Work allocation: 35.5% direct patient care, 35.5% indirect patient care, 10.1% personal time, 9.4% education, 8.6% administration, and 1% research.
  • Time spent on direct and indirect patient care has increased over the past decade.

Conclusions:

  • A mobile application effectively measured resident workload and work allocation.
  • Increased patient care demands have coincided with limited time for educational activities and research.
  • Findings highlight challenges in achieving work-life balance for residents due to evolving work demands.
