Purpose: This study aimed to compare missed nursing care between nurses with and without depressive symptoms.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with shift-working nurses at a general hospital in South Korea.
Data from 184 nurses were analyzed using the independent t-test, the x2 test and the Fisher’s exact test.
Results:The most frequently missed nursing care items reported by hospital nurses were, in descending order, monitoringintake/output, assessing the effectiveness of medications, bathing and skin care, washing hands. The order ofmissed nursing care items was similar between groups with and without depressive symptoms, but there werestatistically significant differences between the two groups in the mean scores for vital signs, bedside glucosemonitoring, turning patients every 2 hours, providing emotional support to patients, skin/wound care, patientdischarge planning, response to the call light, and pro re nata (PRN) medication requests acted on.
Conclusion:Nurses’ mental health needs to be monitored and managed more closely, as it is correlated to missed nursing care. Health institutions and nursing departments should support nurses through strategies that can quickly detect andmanage nurses’ depressive symptoms. Systematic resources incorporating social support among nursecolleagues could also be used as strategies to reduce depressive symptoms and missed nursing care.
