Abstract
Budgetary restrictions and shorter hospital admission times have increased demands upon nursing time leading to nurses missing or rationing care. Previous research studies involving perceptions of missed care have predominantly occurred outside of Australia. This paper reports findings from the first South Australian study to explore missed nursing care. Issues around staffing levels, skill mix and the ability to predict workload play a major role in the delivery of care. This study identified the increasing work demands on nurses/midwifes. Solutions to the rationing of care need further exploration.
