The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the nurse-to-patient ratio and the incidence of adverse events in adult conventional inpatient units. A descriptive, cross-sectional observational study with an analytical approach was conducted to calculate the relationship between the nurse-to-patient ratio and adverse events in conventional inpatient units at a tertiary care hospital, the Albacete University Hospital Complex (CHUA), from 2018 to 2023, analyzing a total of 113,117 patients. The 24-h median nurse-to-patient ratio was slightly higher in surgical units (11.35) than in medical units (10.79). Spearman’s correlation analysis identified significant relationships (rho &gt; 0.4) between the 24-h nurse-to-patient ratio and events such as hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs), community-acquired pressure injuries, and mortality. However, the multiple linear regression analysis focused on HAPI as the dependent variable, excluding mortality due to its multifactorial nature and community-acquired injuries as they predated admission. The linear regression results showed that for every one-point increase in the 24-h nurse-to-patient ratio, the probability of HAPI increased by 1.94%. Additionally, the probability of HAPI decreased by 2.63% in surgical units compared with medical units. When analyzing the units separately, the relationship was more pronounced in medical units: a one-point increase in the 24-h ratio was associated with a 2.81% increase in the likelihood of HAPI. In surgical units, the 24-h ratio did not show a significant relationship with HAPI, with the patient turnover index being the relevant predictor. The findings confirm that the operational nurse–patient ratios in Spain position the system in a state of room for improvement regarding safety and economic efficiency. The differences observed between medical and surgical units underscore the necessity for staffing policies not to be uniform but rather to become dynamic and contextualized to optimize clinical outcomes and resource management.</p>","PeriodicalId":49297,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Management","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/jonm/8885593","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145581051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Descriptive statistics, typically expressed as the arithmetic mean plus–minus the standard deviation (Mean ± SD), are commonly used for this purpose. However, this approach is inadequate for describing asymmetric, right-skewed distributions, commonly encountered in nursing. This study introduces an alternative—the times–divide expression (GMean ^×/GSD)—based on the geometric mean and geometric standard deviation. We present a data-driven study that examines the applicability of this expression using nursing demand data collected over four and a half years from a nurse call system. The results indicate that the times–divide expression outperforms conventional methods in representing distributional properties and providing suitable representative values and usable percentile range indicators.

Nurse managers play a pivotal role in leveraging data analytics to support evidence-based management, facilitating more informed, efficient, and strategic administrative decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Method&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy was employed to identify relevant studies published from 2019 through 2024 using four electronic databases—PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Embase. A total of 2051 studies were screened, and 83 studies were eligible for full-text screening according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight different quality assessment tools were applied. Data tabulation and narrative synthesis were employed.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Twenty-one studies representing eight different study designs were included in the review. There were diverse applications of data analytics across four analytics levels: descriptive (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 4), diagnostic (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 2), predictive (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 9), and prescriptive (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 1).
