Research on Operating Nurse Assignment Based on Fatigue Quantification

Abstract

In order to balance the workload of the operating nurses on an operating day, this paper first decomposes the operations of the operating nurses and employs the JACK software to simulate the working posture. The REBA scores are obtained according to the body radian of working posture, and the RMR values are obtained from REBA scores. According to the basic body data of the operating nurse and the continuous working time, the fatigue load of the nurse is quantified. Based on the quantification of nurse fatigue, this paper constructs an operating nurse scheduling model and uses lingo software to solve it. Finally, the effectiveness of the model is verified through a case study from M Hospital in Sichuan Province. The quantification of the fatigue-based nurse arrangement model can not only ensure the hospital’s surgical care needs, but also balance the burden of operating nurses, improve the health of nurses, and provide a reference for the humanized work arrangements in the hospital’s daily medical services.
