Wanna get out of the hospital alive?Well, the nursing staff has a lot to do with it.Now a study finds that a patient’s risk of dying _____1_____ the number of work shifts that a hospital is _____2_____ in nurses.The research was published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The study included almost 198,000 patients, during nearly 177,000 eight-hour nursing shifts.
The research team originally reported that hospital nurse staffing ____3____ patients’ outcomes a decade ago.That study was challenged because data were collected at several institutions, and thus had ____4____ possibly confounding variables.In the current study, all data were collected at a single, large academic medical center in the U.S.
The researchers found that a patient’s risk of death increased by about two percent for each work shift that was what the researchers ____5____ as understaffed.Patients in the study averaged three such shifts, which meant that their risk of dying increased by more than six percent compared with patients with access to fully staffed nursing teams.So when it comes to nurses it’s about quality—and quantity.

護(hù)士數(shù)量少=死亡風(fēng)險高?! 想活著走出醫(yī)院嗎?當(dāng)然,這也不是不可能,只是這與醫(yī)院看護(hù)人員有著莫大的關(guān)系。如今一研究發(fā)現(xiàn),病人死亡的風(fēng)險隨醫(yī)院缺少醫(yī)護(hù)人員導(dǎo)致的輪班次數(shù)改變而增加。此研究發(fā)表在《新英格蘭醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》上。 該研究在將近十七萬七千個八小時輪班護(hù)理的過程中,調(diào)查了大約十九萬八千名患者。 研究團(tuán)隊曾在十年前就已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)患者的存亡率與醫(yī)院的護(hù)理人員有著密切關(guān)系。由于此前的數(shù)據(jù)是從數(shù)所醫(yī)院獲取的,其中難免會存在一些影響結(jié)果的混雜變量,所以該調(diào)查結(jié)果受到了質(zhì)疑。近期調(diào)查中,所有數(shù)據(jù)都取自美國的一所獨立的大型醫(yī)療學(xué)術(shù)中心。 研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),對于那些醫(yī)護(hù)人員不足的醫(yī)院來說,每輪班一次,患者死亡的風(fēng)險就會增加百分之二。調(diào)查中的患者平均由三班醫(yī)護(hù)人員護(hù)理,與那些由全職醫(yī)護(hù)人員護(hù)理的患者相比,他們的死亡風(fēng)險上升了不止百分之六。因此,醫(yī)護(hù)人員保證護(hù)理質(zhì)量的同時也要保證數(shù)量。
