Abstract

Background Global nursing shortages have exacerbated time pressure and burnout among nurses. Despite the well-established correlation between burnout and patient safety, no studies have addressed how time pressure among nurses and patient safety are related and whether burnout moderates such a relation. Objectives This study investigated how time pressure and the interaction of time pressure and nursing burnout affect patient safety. DESIGN-SETTING PARTICIPANTS: This cross-sectional study surveyed 458 nurses in 90 units of two medical centres in northern Taiwan. Methods Nursing burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Scale. Patient safety was inversely measured by six items on frequency of adverse events. Time pressure was measured by five items. Regressions were used for the analysis. Results While the results of regression analyses suggest that time pressure did not significantly affect patient safety (beta=-.01, p>.05), time pressure and burnout had an interactive effect on patient safety (beta=-.08, p<.05). Specifically, for nurses with high burnout (n=223), time pressure was negatively related to patient safety (beta=-.10, p<.05). Conclusion Time pressure adversely affected patient safety for nurses with a high level of burnout, but not for nurses with a low level of burnout.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
