Missed Nursing Care in Austria
Her aim is, therefore, to survey missed care in this setting and to identify its most relevant influencing factors using a mixed-methods approach. She investigates differences based on data relating to hospitals and wards and nurses’ sociodemographic and work-related data. "After developing a survey for general units in Austrian hospitals, I collected data on the frequency and on the main reasons for missed nursing care. Currently, I am analysing this data using complex statistical methods," the PhD candidate explains.
Through her research she will be able to uncover the most important influencing factors on missed nursing care in Austrian general hospital units. "But most importantly we will be able to make recommendations for intervention development and healthcare policy when tackling this problem in this country," the young researcher says.
