Comparative study for the effect of ICNSS and APACHE Ⅱ scoring in nursing resource allocation of intensive care unit / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the value of intensive care nursing scoring system(ICNSS) on care resource allocation in intensive care unit(ICU). Methods 108 ICU patients were divided into the observation group (55 cases) and the control group (53 cases) randomly. In the observation group,the ICNSS scale was applied to evaluate nursing workload, and care resource was allocated according to intensive care nursing scoring. In the control group, care resource was allocated according to dynamic monitoring of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ ) scoring. The ICU monitoring time,medical cost,incidence of complications during the hospitalization,satisfaction of the nurses and the patients or their relatives were compared between two groups. Results The ICU monitoring time,medical cost and incidenceof complications during the hospitalization in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group, while the satisfaction of the nurses and the patients or their relatives in the observation group was markedly better than that in the control group. Conclusions Care resource allocation according to ICNSS is worthy of promotion and application in ICU because it can more significantly improve nursing quality,satisfaction of nurses and patients or their relatives than care resource allocation according to APACHE Ⅱ scoring.
