Nursing workload associated with neonatal mortality risk: a cross-sectional study / Carga de trabajo de enfermería relacionada al riesgo de mortalidad neonatal: un estudio transversal / Carga de trabalho de enfermagem associada ao risco de mortalidade neonatal: um estudo transversal
this is an observational, cross-sectional study conducted from January 2019 to January 2020.
Results:
the sample consisted of 399 newborns, 55.4% male, Nursing Activities Score mean of 67.5%, and Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology Perinatal Extension mean of 17.7, revealed itself as a predictor of the risk of death, while gestational age, length of hospitalization, and the first-minute Apgar established a protective relationship. The correlation between workload and neonatal mortality was low (r= 0.23, p=0.0009).
