I had the pleasure to teach 2nd year #students of #EANS in Mataro in Spain. On efficacy, effectiveness and little bit on #causaleffects. I've been there as a student myself in 2004 and it's great to see the next generation of #nursingresearch folks getting ready! @nursingresearch @nursing #science
📣 📣 What are the priorities for #nursing research in #Switzerland in the next years? In a participative exercise we identified four areas: new models of care, nursing care interventions, work and care environment, and quality of care and patient safety... find out more in the paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/inr.12937

Michael Simon📢What type of administrative tasks are performed by which type of care worker?
📢Is administrative burden associated with care workers' outcomes?
Our new article using survey data from 118 facilities and 2'207 care workers:
- 73.9% feel burdened by admin tasks
- 1/3 spend 2h or or more performing such tasks on a normal day
- Care workers reporting higher admin task burden were more likely to intend to leave the profession

Administrative burden in Swiss nursing homes and its association with care workers’ outcomes—a multicenter cross-sectional study - BMC Geriatrics
Background Care workers in nursing homes often perform tasks that are rather related to organizational or management activities than ‘direct patient care’. ‘Indirect care activities’, such as documentation or other administrative tasks are often considered by care workers as a burden, as they increase overall workload and keep them away from caring for residents. So far, there is little investigation into what kind of administrative tasks are being performed in nursing homes, by which type of care workers, and to which extent, nor how administrative burden is associated with care workers’ outcomes. Purpose The objective of this study was to describe care workers’ administrative burden in Swiss nursing homes and to explore the association with four care worker outcomes (i.e., job dissatisfaction, emotional exhaustion, intention to leave the current job and the profession). Methods This multicenter cross-sectional study used survey data from the Swiss Nursing Homes Human Resources Project 2018. It included a convenience sample of 118 nursing homes and 2′207 care workers (i.e., registered nurses, licensed practical nurses) from Switzerland’s German- and French-speaking regions. Care workers completed questionnaires assessing the administrative tasks and burden, staffing and resource adequacy, leadership ability, implicit rationing of nursing care and care worker characteristics and outcomes. For the analysis, we applied generalized linear mixed models, including individual-level nurse survey data and data on unit and facility characteristics. Results Overall, 73.9% (n = 1′561) of care workers felt strongly or rather strongly burdened, with one third (36.6%, n = 787) reporting to spend 2 h or more during a "normal" day performing administrative tasks. Ratings for administrative burden ranged from 42.6% (n = 884; ordering supplies and managing stocks) to 75.3% (n = 1′621; filling out the resident’s health record). One out of four care workers (25.5%, n = 561) intended to leave the profession, whereby care workers reporting higher administrative task burden (OR = 1.24; 95%CI: 1.02–1.50) were more likely to intend to leave the profession. Conclusion This study provides first insights on care workers’ administrative burden in nursing homes. By limiting care workers’ burdensome administrative tasks and/or shifting such tasks from higher to lower educated care workers or administrative personnel when appropriate, nursing home managers could reduce care workers’ workload and improve their job satisfaction and retention in the profession.
