To determine the relationship between nursing workload measured through the nine equivalents of nursing manpower use (NEMS) scale and that measured through the nursing activities score (NAS) scale and to analyse staff needs as determined through each of the scales.
In order to analyse resource allocation in intensive care, we examined the association between nurse staffing costs and two patient classification systems: the nursing activities score (NAS) and nine equivalents of nursing manpower use score (NEMS).
It provides a good balance between practice and theory: Practical translation activities score highly on the agenda, but so do more theoretical courses, dealing with linguistics and translation theories.
Summary of self care activities score, range 0-7, higher score=higher level of self care.
After trying different combinations, we found that dichotomization of the social-leisure activities score as ≥2 vs. <2 is the best choice.
Among carriers, regular exercise substantially increased the odds ratio associated with self-reported good health by 167.7% and a higher social/leisure activities score increased the odds ratio associated with reporting good health by 172.5%.
