Perceived changes in the workload of home care nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic : Results of an online survey
Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier GmbH..
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic posed major challenges to the health care system, particularly to nursing. Intensive care was often the focus of attention. However, home care nursing was also confronted with drastic changes, while it is largely unknown how the work situation changed for employees as a result of the pandemic - also depending on the sponsorship of home care nursing services.
METHODS: A nationwide online survey of home-care nurses was conducted in May and June 2022. The Intensification of Job Demands Scale (IDS) and an open question regarding changes in the work situation due to the pandemic were used among other instruments.
RESULTS: More than two-thirds of the 976 home-care nurses surveyed agreed with the respective statements regarding work intensification (e.g., taking fewer breaks, doing work activities at the same time, not having enough time). Additional factors for psychological workload during the pandemic primarily fell within the scope of work organization (e.g., staff absences due to illness and quarantine, vaccination related leaves and terminations, additional workload due to handling protective clothing). Employees of privately run care services experienced fewer COVID-19-related changes than home care nurses employed by non-profit providers.
CONCLUSION: In future crisis situations, good information management (e.g., uniform, consistent and comprehensible guidelines and recommendations for action) and ways to compensate for staff shortages should be created.
