  • Healthcare Workforce Studies

Background:

  • Distinct administrative mandates in Japan create different roles for prefectural and municipal public health nurses.
  • Understanding time allocation is crucial for optimizing public health services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify time allocation across tasks for public health nurses in Japan.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, self-reported time study involving 121 public health nurses.
  • Data collected via Kintone, analyzing daily practices and time allocations.
  • Linear mixed-effects models used to compare time allocation by administrative level and job position.

Main Results:

  • Public health nurses spent an average of 463.6 minutes on work-related activities daily.
  • Municipal nurses spent more time on paperwork, health exams, and individual coordination.
  • Prefectural nurses spent more time on management, operations, and travel, especially in rural areas.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first quantitative evidence of public health nurse task distribution across administrative levels.
  • Findings highlight structural differences in role expectations and the need for workload reallocation.
  • Quantifying time allocation reveals the burden of administrative work, informing workforce planning and service delivery.
