The construction and validation of nursing human resource model in surgical wards based on DRGs
Objective To explore the relationship between DRGs weight and nursing workload,and to construct a nursing human re-source allocation model for surgical wards based on DRGs indicators.Methods The field research was conducted to collect the total nursing workload and DRGs related information of patients during hospitalization,and multiple regression analysis was performed to build a nursing human resource allocation model for surgical wards based on DRGs.Results A total of 450 patients(modeling group)were collected for their nursing workload during hospitalization.The multiple linear regression analysis showed that age,ADL admission,level of nursing admis-sion,anesthesia method and DRGs weights were the influencing factors,which could explain 55.52%of the nursing time.And 184 patients(validation group)were collected for their information to be input into the nursing human resource allocation model.The model time and actu-al time of the validation group were obtained.The rank sum test was used to compare the total nursing time of the two groups.The results showed that there was no significant statistical difference(P>0.05).Conclusion The nursing human resource allocation model for surgical wards based on DRGs is scientific and objective.It can link the DRGs weight representing disease resource consumption and service capacity with nursing workload and provide a basis for scientific allocation of nursing human resources in the future.
