“…Finally, we neither consider RN unit turnover, which was previously associated with patient outcomes (Kim & Han, 2018), nor workflows. Nurse workflows are complex, typified by interruptions and rapid task switching, drawing irregular and non‐repetitive patterns regardless of patient acuity, assignments and frequency of interventions (Durosaiye, Hadjri, Liyanage, & Bennett, 2018), which might adversely influence RN critical thinking and prioritization and increase the risk of negative workforce outcomes.…”

“…The theoretical phase confirmed monitoring, occasionally even related to patients' survival, as a demand on nursing care (66,72,75). Moreover, patient surveillance and responsibility for the patient's safety continues even if an RN is physically present by another patient or is performing other tasks (7,75). Resources of patients and their relatives to be considered in the context of complexity were mentioned in literature defining patient complexity that failed our inclusion criteria (85,86).…”

“…These components probably are to a large extent unique to complexity in nursing care. The theoretical phase confirmed monitoring, occasionally even related to patients' survival, as a demand on nursing care (66,72,75).

“…'Complexity of older adult care' was defined as simultaneous treatments for multiple diseases within a fragmented healthcare system while still based on the relational nature of caregiving (74). Others named three overlapping patient-nurse interactions causing complexity: direct patient care, patient surveillance and patient support executed away from the patient (75).…”

Patient-related complexity of nursing care in acute care hospitalsan updated concept Rational: The interest in complexity of nursing care has grown in science and practice in recent years because of changed patient profiles and higher average levels of patient acuity in acute care hospitals. Aim: The aim of this study was to redefine the concept of patient-related 'complexity of nursing care' in acute care hospitals. Design: The hybrid model for concept development was chosen. Methods: In a first theoretical phase, we performed a narrative literature review regarding defining elements of patient-related 'complexity of nursing care' and developed a working definition. In the fieldwork phase, we investigated collective case studies representing 12 nursing care situations. The theoretical phase was updated before all findings were synthesised, and in the final analytical phase, the preliminary working definition was refined. Ethics: An ethical committee judged the study as unproblematic (waiver no. 82/14 from 5 December 2014). Results: The concept was redefined confirming previous understandings of patient-related 'complexity of nursing care' as a dynamic, relational concept characterised by the instability, variability and uncertainty that exist. The extent of complexity was determined by multifaceted patient problems and resources as well as extensive knowledge, experience, attention and caring skills of registered nurses interacting with each other. Limitations: The study did not include organisation-related complexity of nursing care. Conclusions: The redefinition of the concept may support a common understanding of patient-related demands on nursing care among practitioners, managers and politicians which is important regarding patient safety and health nursing staff.

“…In Table 1, these common nursing work tasks are summarized according to Evers (2003), Gibson and Bamford (2001, p. 21−23), and Henderson (2011), and some specific examples related to each of them are provided. 2 As seen in Table 1, nursing work is wide-ranging, but nurses' main tasks are related to meeting patients' basic human needs (Durosaiye, Hadjri, Liyanage, & Bennett, 2018;Evers, 2003;Henderson, 2011). Organizational role expectations can also refer to stereotypes and cultural images of nurses (see Flinkman, 2014, p. 72).…”

In this study, we analysed stakeholders’ organizational role expectations for nurses. We defined organizational role expectations as a set of informal expectations in behavioural patterns and formal expectations in work tasks related to a certain position in the organization. A qualitative study was conducted, and content analysis was applied to 150 articles published in a Finnish nursing trade journal. We identified five general organizational role expectations of patients and their relatives, physicians and other healthcare professionals, the work community, the nursing association, and legislators in our analysis: “the alongside stroller,” “the patients’ advocate,” “the reliable colleague and team member,” “the expert and skills developer,” and “the organizational underdog.” This study explores these nursing roles and links stakeholder perspective to the organizational role expectations in professional services.
