<p>Documentation is an activity of recording, reporting or recording an event and activities carried out in the form of providing services that are considered important and valuable. One factor that can influence documentation is the nurse's workload. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between nurses' workload and the application of documentation in the Hj. Anna Lasmanah Banjarnegara. This  research is quantitative with a cross sectional approach descriptive correlation design. Samples were taken with a total sampling of 65 nurses. Instruments to measure documentation using observation sheets. While the nurse workload instrument uses a questionnaire sheet. The analysis technique uses Spearman Rank correlation. Based on the research results of the workload of a nurse in the hospital room , most of them are in the weight category, as many as 46 respondents (70.8%). Application of nursing care documentation in the hospital room Hj. Anna Lasmanah Banjarnegara, most of them are respondents in the incomplete category as many as 63 respondents (96.9%). There is a significant relationship between nurse workload with the application of documentation, this is evidenced by the results of the Spearman Rank correlation bivariate analysis, which is r = 0.688 with p = 0.000 &lt;0.05. It is hoped that management will motivate nurses to complete the documentation of nursing care</p>

This secondary analysis examined the variability in the effects of school nurse workload on individual student outcomes of 9th grade attendance, being on track to graduate, and high school graduation. A principal axis factor analysis of the variables underlying school nurse workload and a structural equation model of the latent construct school nurse workload in 5th grade and the three outcome variables was tested using data from student records ( N = 3,782). Two factors explained 82% of the variability in school nurse workload: acuity and volume factor and social determinants of health factor. The model had acceptable fit indices and school nurse workload explained between 35% and 52% of the variability in the outcomes with a moderate effect size (.6–.72). Creating school nurse workload assignments that maximize student educational outcomes may improve graduation from high school, which in turn increases the resources available for lifelong health.

This study assessed associations between school nurse workload and student health and academic outcomes. We hypothesized that lower school nurse workload would be associated with better student outcomes, with associations being greater for members of groups who experience health disparities. Our methods entailed secondary analysis of data for New York City school students in kindergarten through 12th grade during 2015–2016 ( N = 1,080,923), using multilevel multivariate regression as the analytic approach. Results demonstrated lower school nurse workload was associated with better outcomes for student participation in asthma education but not chronic absenteeism, early dismissals, health office visits, immunization compliance, academic achievement, or overweight/obesity. Our findings suggest school nurses may influence proximal outcomes, such as participation in disease-related education, more easily than downstream outcomes, such as absenteeism or obesity. While contrary to our hypotheses, results align with the fact that school nurses deliver community-based, population health–focused care that is inherently complex, multilevel, and directly impacted by social determinants of health. Future research should explore school nurses’ perspectives on what factors influence their workload and how they can best impact student outcomes.

Nurse workload is very influential on child play therapy assistance caused by workload excessive workload, lack of facilities and infrastructure, nothing schedule for play therapy and the number of nurses  only 18 nurses, According to theory Gilles with the number of beds 34 needed 29 nurses. The purpose of this research is to know the Relationship of Nurse Workload with The Role of Child’s Nurse in Mentoring Play Therapy in Room Dahlia RSUD Dr. H Sewondo Kendal. This type of research is descriptive correlation with cross sectional. The sampling technique with total sampling, a sample is 18 respondents. Retrieval data using questionnaires and then tested into Spearman Rank test statistic. Based on research found 10 respondents (55,6%) have hard workload and 8 respondents (44,4%) have a light workload. The role of nurses in good categories 5 respondents (27,8%) and categories less is 13 respondents (72,2%). From result of Spearman Rank test analysis, get result of coefficient correlation value -868 in category very strong and obtained p value = 0,000 < 0,05 it’s mean Ha accepted and H0 rejected. There is a relantionship between the nurses workload with the role of child nurses in mentoring play therapy.

Abstract Background Medication errors (MEs) are among the most common types of incidents reported in Australian and international hospitals. There is no uniform method of reporting and reducing these errors. This study aims to identify the incidence, time trends, types and factors associated with MEs in a large regional hospital in Australia. Methods A 5-year cross-sectional study. Results The incidence of MEs was 1.05 per 100 admitted patients. The highest frequency of errors was observed during the colder months of May–August. When distributed by day of the week, Mondays and Tuesdays had the highest frequency of errors. When distributed by hour of the day, time intervals from 7 am to 8 am and from 7 pm to 8 pm showed a sharp increase in the frequency of errors. One thousand and eighty-eight (57.8%) MEs belonged to incidence severity rating (ISR) level 4 and 787 (41.8%) belonged to ISR level 3. There were six incidents of ISR level 2 and only one incident of ISR level 1 reported during the five-year period 2014-2018. Administration-only errors were the most common accounting for 1070 (56.8%) followed by prescribing-only errors (433, 23%). High-risk medications were associated with half the number of errors, the most common of which were narcotics (17.9%) and antimicrobials (13.2%). Conclusions MEs continue to be a problem faced by international hospitals. Inexperience of health professionals and nurse–patient ratios might be the fundamental challenges to overcome. Specific training of junior staff in prescribing and administering medication and nurse workload management could be possible solutions to reducing MEs in hospitals.
