摘要:

Part 1 of this series identified a number of complex changes affecting our society, its organizations, and workers. To effectively adjust to these changes, organizational transformation is essential. Strategies for implementing these philosophies are not, however, as easy as simply knowing and believing that change through transformation is necessary. This, the second part of our series, addresses strategies used in one organization to implement the principles discussed in part 1.

摘要:

This is the second article in a two-part series detailing the methodology for setting up and analyzing data from a study of nursing care hours. In part 1, the steps were outlined for setting up and performing observations on a random basis to provide data for setting time standards for hours of care per patient day. Data were collected both on acuity level of patients and on staff type of those caring for patients (e.g., Nurse, LPN). Additional data were collected on hours worked by each level of staff and on census during the study period. In part 2, methods for analyzing these data are presented.

This paper describes the process of the study and includes examples of the evaluation tools.

摘要:

Premature nurse turnover was a topic of critical concern to nursing managers through the early 1980s.1,2For the past few years, there has been less discussion of such turnover and what had previously been an acute shortage of nurses. A recentWall Street Journalarticle suggests why this lack of overt interest in nurse turnover may have arisen: “Economic downturns, paradoxically, often act as apparent cures for existing problems. In the midst of the past recession, for example, few companies [substitute hospitals] paid much attention to a management problem that was pervasive during the pre-recession growth period: professional turnover.”3While the earlier nursing shortage may never reappear as critically as before, it is increasingly clear that understanding the causes of premature nurse turnover is essential if hospitals are to be able to retain their most valued nurse staff members. Thus, there remains a strong interest in the attitudinal precursors of such turnover and how they might help nursing managers avert dysfunctional nurse turnover.4,5
