Abstract:Objective To explore the calculation method of hemodialysis nursing human resource allocation, to understand the current situation of hemodialysis nursing human resources allocation, and provide a basis for medical administrative departments to improve relevant management policies.Methods A calculation method of nursing human resources allocation for hemodialysis nursing was established, and a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the nursing human resources of 178 hospitals in Shaanxi Province.Results The all-day nurse-patient ratio of hemodialysis units in Shaanxi Province was 1:6.09 (4.93, 7.03), and 122 hospitals (68.54%) achieved a point-in-time nurse-patient ratio of 1:6.67.Comparison of all-day nurse-patient ratio attainment rates in hospitals of different natures, grades, and opening shifts showed statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). 81.46% of the hospitals annual actual allocation of human resources for hemodialysis nursing had reached the theoretical total number of personnel allocated annually.Conclusion The overall nursing human resources allocation in point-of-care human resource allocation for hemodialysis nursing in Shaanxi Province basically meets the standard.It is recommended that when the managers implement the hemodialysis nursing manpower allocation and point-in-time scheduling of each shift, the critical value of point-in-time nurse-patient ratio and the method of calculating the number of overall allocation of nurses′ human resources should be referred to, and the nursing manpower should be arranged reasonably, so as to reduce the pressure of nurses′ work and to ensure the quality and safety of patients′ dialysis.
