“…The results of the observations that reinforce this finding are more junior executing nurses are often more directly assigned to nursing tasks. This is in line with the opinions of Hariyati (2014) and Falk & Wallin (2016) where the team method has weaknesses that are the unfairness of assigning the burden of duties among nurses so that the feeling of burden or stress on the job that is responsible. Guidance on general assignment methods was made in 2008, but has not been revised and there is no specific guidance regarding team methods yet.…”

Nursing workforce and workload greatly affect the model of delivery of nursing care. The aim of this paper is to identify the process of optimizing team methods at Military Hospital in Jakarta conducted during the residency program. Project activity begins with situation analysis using Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threats (SWOT) analysis, problem identification through fish-bone analysis, problem priority setting, action plans making, implementation, and evaluation. The initial assessment sample involved 62 randomly selected sample nurses in 11 wards. The sample on implementation involves 21 team leader nurses at Jakarta Military Hospital. The problem that arises from the initial assessment is the implementation of team method, especially about the imbalance division of tasks between each nurse. The evaluation shows that 100% of the team leaders have good knowledge in making daily plans and team personnel division, but the implementation cannot be maximized. The recommendation is to strengthen the regulation of team method and increase the number of professional nurses to become a team leader at Jakarta Military Hospital.

“…Nursing understaffing and increased nursing workload have been associated with increased risk of adverse patient outcomes (e.g., falls, decubiti, medication administration errors, healthcare-associated infections, unplanned extubations, mortality) as well as nurse burnout and job dissatisfaction [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…This is in line with a previous study where it was discussed that RNs might be too distant in residential care to have control over, assess and critically judge the quality of care (From et al, ). The care environment in ICUs is the opposite, with a high density of RNs who continually oversee, coordinate and provide nursing care (Falk & Wallin, ; Marshall et al, ). It is unclear why RNs in ICUs scored humanity aspects of oral care quality lower compared with ENs in ICUs, and this needs further investigation.…”

“…In STC units, RNs have a consulting role and ENs with a lower level of nursing education perform most bedside nursing care (Etherton‐Beer, Venturato, & Horner, ). This is in contrast to ICUs where RNs work with the patient at the bedside around the clock and continually oversee, coordinate and provide nursing care (Marshall et al, ) together with ENs (Falk & Wallin, ).…”

Aim (a) To describe and compare perceptions of humanity aspects of oral care quality in relation to nursing staff in short‐term care units and intensive care units and older people in short‐term care units and their person‐related conditions; and (b) to compare humanity aspects of oral care quality perceptions between nursing staff and older people in short‐term care units. Design Cross‐sectional study. Self‐reported questionnaire and clinical assessments. Methods Nursing staff (N = 417) and older people (N = 74) completed the modified Quality of Care from a Patient Perspective instrument and person‐related items. Older people's oral health status was clinically assessed using the Revised Oral Assessment Guide. Data were analysed using descriptive and analytic statistics. The data were collected from 2013–2016. Results Nursing staff's perceptions of humanity aspects of oral care quality were related to gender, work role and care environment. Older people's perceptions of humanity aspects of oral care quality were related to self‐reported physical health. Nursing staff in short‐term care units perceived the subjective importance of humanity aspects of oral care quality higher compared with older people in short‐term care units.
