Analysis of home care nurses' workload: A time-motion study.
This observational-descriptive time and motion study was conducted to determine how heavy home care nurses' workload is and how they allocate their work time to home healthcare. It was carried out in the home health services of the district municipality.The Information form, Nursing Activities Report Form, Cheltenham Patient Classification Scale were used. The time-motion study method was implemented to perform the workload analysis. The nurses allocated 68.02 minutes to direct care, 61.02 minutes to indirect care, 53.26 minutes to their work unit-related activities, and 119.42 minutes to their personal activities.Among all the activities performed during the day, the longest time was allocated to educational activities. Another area that took a long time was the registration procedures. Performing workload analysis with different methods that will measure many concrete and intangible attempts of home care nurses will contribute to workforce planning in home care services, resolving of the unmet home care needs of patients and continuous quality improvement.
