Nurse staffing and quality of care in nursing facilities.

J Johnson-Pawlson, D L Infeld.   

Abstract

A study of 198 nursing facilities in Maryland tested the hypotheses that: 1) the presence of more RNs improves the quality of nursing care; and 2) increased numbers of all types of nursing staff improve the quality of nursing care, based on a multidimensional measure of quality of nursing care. Findings indicate that the ratio of RNs to residents is directly related to a measure of resident rights deficiencies. In addition, the ratio of total nursing staff to residents is directly related to a lower overall deficiency index and a higher quality of care score.
