Quantifying emergency department nursing workload at the task level using NASA-TLX: An exploratory descriptive study
Background
Emergency departments (ED) nurses experience high mental workloads because of unpredictable work environments; however, research evaluating ED nursing workload using a tool incorporating nurses’ perception is lacking. Quantify ED nursing subjective workload and explore the impact of work experience on perceived workload.
Methods
Thirty-two ED nurses at a tertiary academic hospital in the Republic of Korea were surveyed to assess their subjective workload for ED procedures using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). Nonparametric statistical analysis was performed to describe the data, and linear regression analysis was conducted to estimate the impact of work experience on perceived workload.
Results
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) had the highest median workload, followed by interruption from a patient and their family members. Although inexperienced nurses perceived the ‘special care’ procedures (CPR and defibrillation) as more challenging compared with other categories, analysis revealed that nurses with more than 107 months of experience reported a significantly higher workload than those with less than 36 months of experience.
Conclusion
Addressing interruptions and customizing training can alleviate ED nursing workload. Quantified perceived workload is useful for identifying acceptable thresholds to maintain optimal workload, which ultimately contributes to predicting nursing staffing needs and ED crowding.
