Use of Nursing Interventions as an Indicator to Assess the Workload of Nurses in a Tertiary Care Surgical Ward Setting in Sri Lanka.

This research looked into the possibility of using the number of Nursing Interventions as a measure of Nurses workload in a Surgical ward setting. The quantification of the number of interventions was done using the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). This strategy could generate the average number of interventions required per patient and per shift as well as could assess the variation of the number of interventions under different factors.
