目的验证“护士来电发生具有周期性”的假设。背景护理任务变化大，看似随机，因此很难制定护理管理计划。对决策最有用的信息之一是周期性。如果存在周期性，应该能够预测任务的发生并制定预防策略。本研究以护士呼叫为研究对象，研究护士呼叫在护理实践中的重要作用。数据是从2014年1月1日至2017年9月30日(1369天)在一所大学医院获得的。总数为5,982,935人。结果自相关函数的值呈规律性增加，说明护士来电具有周期性。结论我们的假设被接受。周期性的存在表明护士呼叫的发生不是一个随机事件，而是有规律的。护理管理的意义如果我们能够识别护士呼叫频繁发生的时间等模式，管理者可以实施两种策略：一是分配更多的护士，二是将护士呼叫以外的任务转移到另一个时间。
AimTo verify our hypothesis that ‘there is periodicity in nurse call occurrence’.BackgroundIt is difficult to plan nursing management because nursing tasks can vary widely, seemingly at random. One of the most useful pieces of information for decision‐making is periodicity. If periodicity is present, it should be possible to predict the occurrence of tasks and make preventive strategies. In this study, we focused on the nurse call, which plays an important role in nursing practice.MethodWe used nurse call logs that accumulated automatically when patients pushed the button. Data were obtained from 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2017 (1,369 days) in a university hospital. The total number was 5,982,935. Periodicity was verified by the autocorrelation function.ResultsThe value of the autocorrelation function increased regularly, which demonstrates there was periodicity in nurse call occurrence.ConclusionOur hypothesis was accepted. The presence of periodicity indicates that nurse call occurrence is not a random event but has a pattern.Implications for Nursing ManagementIf we can identify patterns such as the time that nurse calls frequently occur, managers can implement two strategies: one, assigning more nurses and two, moving tasks other than nurse calls to another time.
