“…In this regard, Urbanetto et al, (2013) in Brazil, exhibited that the mean admission NEMS score was 30.75 in the deceased ICU patients and 20.48 in the discharged patients (27). As we can see, in the study of Urbanetto, the difference in the scores between the deceased and survived patients was almost close to our results.…”

Background: Nine equivalents of nursing manpower use score (NEMS) is one of the scoring systems used in some studies to determine the severity of the status of patients in the ICU. The present study was conducted to investigate the application of NEMS to identify patients at the end stages of life. Methods: This study was a prospective design where 420 patients were selected from the intensive care unit (ICU) of a referral hospital. Data collection tools were demographic, disease-related, and NEMS questionnaires. The last calculated NEMS score for patients was used to detect their need for end-of-life care. After completing the sampling, the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Cox regression at 95% confidence interval.

“…A few studies combined perceived workload with the development of staffing tools (Balfe, Sharples, & Wilson, 2015; Bender, 2013). In many of the studies, the investigators were interested in examining relationships between nurse to patient ratios and nurse-sensitive outcomes such as patient falls, mortality, or urinary tract infections (Ball, Murrells, Rafferty, Morrow, & Griffiths, 2014; de Souza Urbanetto et al, 2014; Tubbs-Cooley, Pickler, Mark, & Carle, 2015). While these outcomes are relevant to workload in inpatient settings, nurse-sensitive outcomes related to school nursing have not been developed although they are important in evaluating the impact of different levels of workload.…”

Recognizing the need for a school nurse workload model based on more than the number of students in a caseload, the National Association of School Nurses issued recommendations related to measuring school nurse workload. Next, a workforce acuity task force (WATF) was charged with identifying the steps needed to further the recommendations. As a first step, the WATF focused on identifying existing literature and practices related to school nurse workload. The purpose of this article is to synthesize and categorize the factors that were identified, delineate sources for collecting and retrieving these factors, and make recommendations for clinicians and researchers interested in developing instruments to measure school nurse workload.

ObjectiveTo estimate the workload and size the nursing team using the scales TISS-28 and NEMS in a pediatric intensive care unit.MethodsAn observational prospective study with a quantitative approach was conducted at the pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital from Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009. All children who remained hospitalized for more than 8 hours were included, with length of stay of 4 hours in case of death. Clinical data were collected and the Paediatric Index of Mortality 2 and the scores TISS-28 and NEMS were determined. The TISS-28 and NEMS were converted into working hours of the nursing team and sizing complied with the parameters of the Brazilian Federal Nursing Council. Pearson's correlation and the Bland-Altman model were used to verify the association and agreement between the instruments.ResultsA total of 459 children were included, totaling 3,409 observations. The average values for the TISS-28 and NEMS were 20.8±8 and 25.2±8.7 points, respectively. The nursing workload was 11 hours by TISS-28 and 13.3 hours by NEMS. The estimated number of professionals by TISS-28 and NEMS was 29.6 and 35.8 professionals, respectively. The TISS-28 and NEMS showed adequate correlation and agreement.ConclusionTime spent in nursing activities and team sizing reflected by the NEMS were significantly greater when compared to the TISS-28.
