Abstract

This case report was conducted in an acute care unit with a distinctive plan to examined the relationships between: 1) amount of nurses’ activity and nurses’ burden-feeling, and 2) plan characteristics and nursing burden. The survey consisted of a questionnaire and three-day-activity survey using a general pedometer. Results showed that the amount of activity in the nursing hall type tended to be lower than that in the middle corridor type. Furthermore, no clear relationship was found between amount of nurses’ activity and the nurses’ burden-feeling. These results suggest that nurses’ burden-feeling is an independent indicator.
