Nurse Burnout Associated with Hospital Infection Rates

Nurse staffing levels — and especially job-related burnout — seem to be contributing factors in hospital infection rates, according to a study in the American Journal of Infection Control.


Researchers examined staffing levels and rates of urinary tract and surgical-site infection in 160 acute care hospitals in Pennsylvania. In addition, they surveyed nurses using a questionnaire designed to detect job-related burnout.


They found that although lower staff-to-patient ratios were associated with higher infection rates, an even greater association was observed between staff burnout and infection rates. They estimate that every 10% increase in the prevalence of nursing staff burnout increases the rate of urinary tract and surgical-site infections by 1 and 2 per 10000 patients, respectively.

even greater association was observed between staff burnout and infection rates,

應該有一個共同因子沒有考慮吧?

經費不夠的醫院 當然比較容易有 staff burnout & higher infection rates

雙和醫院 2護士顧40病人
http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily ... 3/34412975

【突發中心╱新北報導】「發燒都不敢請假，怎麼能照顧好病患？」新北市署立雙和醫院內科護士控訴，因人力嚴重不足，上月大夜班僅有兩名護士輪值，卻須照顧四十名病患，即使小夜班也只有三名護士，院方本月還要擴床收治病人，累翻護士更罔顧病患權益，就有病患家屬說：「護士很辛苦，但人力不足讓人很不放心！」


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


雙和醫院一名內科病房護士向《蘋果》投訴，一般病患急救時需三名護士協助，一個打藥、一個壓氧氣，另一個負責抽痰，上月大夜班卻僅有兩名護士輪值，等於一名護士要負責二十名病患，曾發生兩名護士忙著搶救病患，沒時間管其他兩名快往生病人，「工作累到快得憂鬱症！」


護士批「草菅人命」

另名護士無奈說，經多次向院方反應都無下文，儘管補新人但全是沒經驗的畢業生，醫院現在只忙著擴充床位及搞評鑑，「跟草菅人命沒兩樣！」
《蘋果》日前實地觀察雙和醫院小夜班護士執勤狀況，發現護士忙進忙出，除與醫師巡診，還要為病患量血壓給藥，也需面對病患按服務鈴及協助處理病患家屬問題，工作量繁重。更有病患家屬說：「護士人力不足讓家屬很不放心。」


應調整護士病床數

雙和醫院對此回應，護理師確實很辛苦，也人力吃緊，人力配置符合醫院的評鑑標準。新北市衛生局表示，該院護士人力符合區域醫院設置標準，至於人力如何配置則無法可管，針對部份科別人力吃緊，將給予指導並要求改善。
新北護理師護士工會理事長陳麗雪認為，醫院大夜班照顧十五位病人是比較常見的作法，二十名確實多了些，「醫院應該多與護士溝通，合理調整護士與病床數比，才能讓護士有更完善的工作環境，也能照顧好病人。」
