Finding time for patients: an exploration of nurses' time allocation in an acute psychiatric setting.

Abstract:

:This article explores the proportion of work time psychiatric nurses spend in potentially psychotherapeutic one-to-one communication with patients. Twenty staff nurses from three acute admission wards in a psychiatric hospital in Northern Ireland were observed. The time spent in a selection of routine activities was recorded using a specially developed observation system Nurses' Daily Activity Recording System (NURDARS). The main findings were: (i) less than half of the working day (42.7%) was spent in patient contact, and (ii) the proportion of work time which was devoted to potentially psychotherapeutic interaction with patients was very small (6.75%). The implications and limitations of the study are discussed and suggestions are made for the management and practice of psychiatric nursing, for the education of psychiatric nurses, and for further research.
