NCT ID NCT05140473
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at what factors make intensive care and pediatric nurses feel more or less overloaded at work. Researchers surveyed 484 nurses using a standard workload scale that measures mental demands, physical effort, time pressure, and frustration. The goal is to identify which aspects of the job—like patient severity, staffing, or experience—affect perceived workload most, so hospitals can better support their nursing staff.
