Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Research has shown a direct relationship between staffing levels and patient outcomes for specific nurse-sensitive indicators, with lower patient to nurse ratios (i.e. less patients per nurse) associated with better outcomes.
OBJECTIVES:
To explore the relationship between nurse staffing characteristics (the nursing hours worked by permanent and temporary staff and nurse hours per patient day) and patient outcomes: pressure sores, patient falls, upper gastrointestinal bleed, pneumonia, sepsis, shock and deep vein thrombosis.
