Abstract
ObjectiveTo construct the nursing assistant classification service standards based on the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale, Barthel Index, so as to provide an objective basis for service management of nursing assistants.
MethodsThe Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University formulated the classification service standards for nursing assistants according to the ADL Scale in June 2018. Pre-implementation group (from June 2017 to May 2018) and post-implementation group (June 2018 to May 2019) were divided according to the implementation start time. The self-designed Electronic Satisfaction Questionnaire was used to compare the satisfaction of patients and their family members, head nurses and nurses with working quality of nursing assistants, satisfaction of nursing assistants with working and the turnover rate of nursing assistants before and after implementation.
ResultsAfter implementation, the median of satisfaction score of patients and their family members on the work of nursing assistants dropped from 21 to 14, and the turnover rate of nursing assistants decreased from 59.6% to 29.0% with statistical differences (P<0.01) .
ConclusionsApplication of ADL to evaluate the classification service standards for nursing assistants can improve the working quality and satisfaction of nursing assistants and reduce the turnover rate which is worthy of promotion in nursing management of nursing assistants.
