| [ Summary ] | In our facility, the work schedules of nurses are determined by trial and error, so as to provide the most effective nursing care. These schedules are set by the nursing requirements for individual patients. In the present study, nursing requirements for individual patients were measured using the two different forms reported on elsewhere. These were the Nursing Requirement Sheet and the Patient Critical Level Sheet. The best working schedule for nurses was determined on the basis of nursing requirements for respective patients, measured with the proper sheet. As a result, the best work schedule with the Patient Critical Level Sheet was shown to be closer to the schedule decided on by using trial and error. |
