Abstract
Background: Missed nursing care refers to all aspects of nursing care needed by the patient that are forgotten or delayed. One of the factors affecting the occurrence of missed care is the general health of nurses. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between missed nursing care and general health among emergency department nurses of university hospitals in Alborz province.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 228 nurses working in the emergency department of Alborz University of Medical Sciences hospitals from March to May 2024.The scale used to collect information was a questionnaire consisting of a demographic section, a general health questionnaire (GHQ12), and nursing duties in the emergency department (reported by the Deputy Minister of Nursing of the Ministry of Health).
Results: The average age of the nurses was 34.10 years and the majority of them were women (%84.2) and they worked in general emergency (%57) hospitals. The mean (±SD) of missed nursing care and general health of nurses were 19.4±43.18 and 3.5±18.34, respectively. In the general health variable of nurses, the highest mean was related to being under stress (0.68±2.25) and the highest mean of missed care was related to “emotional support of the patients and their relatives” (1.22±2.69). In examining the relationship between demographic, occupational and general health variables with missed nursing care, only the age variable had a negative and significant relationship (ß=-0.196, P=0.02).
Conclusion: Due to the high work pressure, nurses prioritize nursing care to reduce missed nursing care. It is suggested to reduce the working hours and increase the number of personnel in each shift. The description of personnel duties and division of work should be done correctly.
