ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effect of nursing scheduling software combined with mobile phone APP in the nursing manpower arrangement in intensive care unit.@*Methods@#The nursing scheduling software and mobile phone APP were applied to management resources of 82 nurses in ICU, substituted for traditional manual way. The work efficiency, nursing quality and nurse satisfaction were compared before and after implementing in intensive care unit.@*Results@#After implementation of nursing scheduling software combined with mobile phone APP, the average time of scheduling was reduced from (6.49±0.62) h to (4.29±0.44) h, the difference was statistically significant (t=19.97, P<0.01). The nursing quality score was improved from (97.54±1.19) points to (95.16±1.29) points, the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.70, P<0.01). The nurses′ satisfaction about scheduling was improved from 73.2%(60/82) to 96.3%(79/82), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=17.04, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#The mode of nursing scheduling software combined with mobile phone APP in intensive care unit has a good effect, which can improve the scheduling efficiency, the job satisfaction of nursing staff and the quality of nursing,and promote the nursing information management.
