“…The mean NAS scores in some different studies conducted in ICUs were almost similar to the present results (11,15). On the other hand, the NAS score was reported to be 47% in a study by Reich et al (2014) in a CCU and 34.9% by Panunto et al (2015) in a gastroenterology unit (21,22).…”

Background: Heavy workload is one of the main problems of nurses working in intensive care units (ICUs). It not only decreases the quality and safety of patient care, but also increases human errors in health care, rate of hospitalization, and risk of mortality in patients. Workload evaluation and surveillance of patients enable authorities to allocate adequate staff to ICUs, leading to improved quality of patient care and treatment.

“…Other studies carried out in different contexts, showed that mean NAS varied, emphasizing that the nursing workload is related to the work process, cultural aspects, professional profile, level of dependence of patients, complexity of diseases, availability of equipment and physical plant (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(25)(26) . When comparing the mean NAS in the first and last day of hospitalization in both hospitalizations, there was a significant regression of the nursing workload.…”

“…The availability of NAS, translated and validated for the Brazilian reality (4) , made possible its practical application in Brazil. Although originally designed for critical units, currently, its use is evident in different profiles of patients, demonstrating its effectiveness in different areas, including semi-intensive care units (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . Craniofacial deformities comprise a large and complex group covering isolated or multiple anomalies.…”

Objective:To assess the impact of promoting self-care in nursing workload and associate it to the variables: age, gender, socioeconomic status, education, marital status and number of children of caregivers. Methods: Prospective study with 31 children and their caregivers. Participants were assessed at two moments, 1 st and 2 nd hospitalization, the nursing workload was measured by the Nursing Activities Score (NAS). Results: The mean NAS in the 1 st hospitalization was 60.9% and in the 2 nd hospitalization was 41.6%, that is, 14.6 and 9.9 hours of nursing, respectively. The nursing workload on the first day of hospitalization was higher compared to the last day, both for the 1 st (p<0.001) and for the 2 nd hospitalization (p<0.001), and higher in the first (p<0.001) and in the last day (p=0.025) in the 1 st hospitalization. Comparing the 1 st hospitalization to the 2 nd hospitalization, the first was higher (p<0.001), and NAS items related to the training of self-care was influenced (p<0.001). Conclusion: The nursing workload associated to self-care promotion corresponded to 14.6 hours and was higher than determined by the existing legislation.

RESUMENObjetivo: Describir la adaptación del Nursing Activities Score al español hablado en Chile, para su utilización en unidades de cuidados intensivos en Chile. Material y métodos: Adaptación transcultural con equivalencia semántica e idiomática cuyas etapas metodológicas fueron: traducción y retrotraducción, evaluación de la validez de contenido y adaptación lingüística a la población a evaluar. Posterior a la traducción, la primera versión fue sometida a evaluación de contenido por cinco jueces expertos y se utilizó el coeficiente de validez de contenido. Para la adaptación lingüística, se aplicó metodología cualitativa por medio de un grupo focal conformado por ocho enfermeros clínicos quienes evaluaron la comprensión, viabilidad, claridad y la terminología empleada en cada ítem hasta llegar a un consenso respecto de su claridad verbal, redacción y comprensión, generando una segunda versión del instrumento. Resultados: La validez de contenido y el índice de Lyn fueron entre 0,6 y 1,0 y entre 80 y 100, respectivamente. En el grupo focal, algunas expresiones fueron ajustadas para la cultura chilena. No hubo alteraciones en el contenido del instrumento y se consideró la segunda versión como la final. Conclusiones: La adaptación transcultural de los ítems del Nursing Activities Score fue considerada bien diseñada y acorde para medir la carga de trabajo en enfermería en UCI en Chile. Palabras clave:ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the adaptation of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) into Chilean Spanish for use in Chilean intensive care units. Material and methods: Cross-cultural adaptation with semantic and idiomatic equivalence. The methodological steps consisted of translation and back translation, evaluation of content validity and linguistic adaptation to the target population. After the translation, the first version was assessed for content by five expert judges using the content validity coefficient. For the linguistic adaptation, qualitative methodology was applied conducting a focus group with eight clinical nurses, who evaluated the comprehension, viability, clarity and terminology of each NAS item until agreeing upon criteria for a second version of the instrument. Results: Content validity and Lin's index values were between 0.6 and 1.0 and between 80 and 100, respectively. In the focus group conducted with the clinical nurses some expressions were adjusted to the Chilean culture. There were no changes in the content of the instrument and the second version was considered as the final one. Conclusion: The cross-cultural adaptation of the NAS items were deemed valid and reliable for measuring the workload of nursing in Chilean intensive care units.
