The Correlation of Nurse's Work Environment with Missed Nursing Care in Hospital

Abstract

Introduction: Missed nursing care is a caring aspect needed for patients who have intentionally or not been eliminated or significantly postponed. One of the factors that can affect missed nursing care is the work environment of the nurse. The aspects contained in the work environment of nurses include staffing and resources; quality of basic nursing care; nurse and doctor relationship; participation of nurses in hospital affairs; as well as nurse manager ability, leadership, and nurse support. Method: This research study used correlational analysis and a cross-sectional design approach which was carried out on 56 nurses as respondents using two instruments, that is Misscare Survey and the PES-NWI questionnaire. Results: The study using the Spearman Rank test showed that there was a significant relationship between the work environment of nurses and missed nursing care (ρ <0.05). Conclusions: The better nurse's work environment is lower missed nursing care.
