Abstract EN
The TISS-28 scale, which may be used for nursing staff scheduling in ICU, does not reflect the complete scope of nursing resulting from varied cultural and organizational conditions of individual systems of health care.
Aim.
The objective of the study was an attempt to provide an answer to the question what scope of nursing care provided by Polish nurses in ICU does the TISS-28 scale reflect? Material and Methods.
The methods of working time measurement were used in the study.
For the needs of the study, 252 hours of continuous observation (day-long observation) and 3.697 time-schedule measurements were carried out.
Results.
The total nursing time was 4125.79 min.
(68.76 hours), that is, 60.15% of the total working time of Polish nurses during the period analyzed.
Based on the median test, the difference was observed on the level of χ2=16945.8, P<0.001 between the nurses’ workload resulting from performance of activities qualified into the TISS-28 scale and load resulting from performance of interventions within the scopes of care not considered in this scale in Polish ICUs.
Conclusions.
The original version of the TISS-28 scale does not fully reflect the workload among Polish nurses employed in ICUs.
