The purpose of this descriptive comparative research is to evaluate two measurement instruments, the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) and the modified RAFAELA (which is composed of modified Oulu nursing care intensity measuring instrument and PAONCIL nursing workload measuring instrument) and to evaluate which of them best suits measuring nursing care intensity and nursing workload in intensive care units.
Tilgangur þessarar lýsandi samanburðar rannsóknar er að meta tvö mælitæki, Nursing Activities Score (NAS) og aðlagað RAFAELA (sem samanstendur af aðlöguðu Oulu hjúkrunarþyngdarmælitæki og PAONCIL vinnuálagsmælitæki) og meta hvort þeirra hentar betur til hjúkrunarþyngdar- og vinnuálagsmælinga á gjörgæsludeildum.
