The impact of nurse staffing level on patient outcomes in critical care setting

Abstract

Background:The care of very ill patients, who typically have illnesses that are life-threatening, is provided in a high-tech setting that requires substantial staffing and competency levels in intensive care units. Aims of study: To assess The impact of nurse staffing level on patient outcomes in critical care setting. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted by Standards for nurse staff in intensive care units inThe British Association of Nurses in CC (BANCC) (2001), Royal College of Nursing (2003, 2005), and other CC nursing professional organisations in the United Kingdom (UK) have previously created guidance for nurse staffing in CC to help nurses make well-informed choices about staffing CCUs. Results: The CC family requirements portfolio was largely used to explore family needs, and it shows that information and assurance, after that closeness, relaxation, and support, are the two most urgent requirements that families have. Families seek accurate information on their relative's growth that is presented every day in clear terms, without giving rise to unfounded optimism . Additionally, they want to be informed immediately if their relative's clinical status changes and want reassurance that they are getting the finest care possible at all times. Conclusion : overall , ICU cares for patients who may be able to recover and who can advantage from closer monitoring and invasive procedures than can be safely offered on regular wards or high-dependence sections. Patients needing unconventional respiratory support solely or support for two or more deteriorating organ systems should be placed in an ICU. ICU facilities are available for various organ dysfunction diagnoses, prophylaxis, and therapy.
