Development and Validation of a Time and Motion Tool to Measure Cardiology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Activities.

Background: Acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) provide advanced nursing care to patients and families who are experiencing a complex acute, critical or chronic health condition. A clear understanding of ACNP activities may facilitate the deployment of ACNP roles in health care teams. Time and mo...

        Background: Acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) provide advanced nursing care to patients and families who are experiencing a complex acute, critical or chronic health condition. A clear understanding of ACNP activities may facilitate the deployment of ACNP roles in health care teams. Time and motion studies represent the gold standard to measure clinician work time. Methods: A time and motion tool to measure cardiology ACNP activities was developed and pilot-tested in two organizations. Findings: The researcher produced a valid and reliable tool. The inter-observer agreement was 0.94 following the pilot study. A training guide and a training schedule were produced to support the use of the time and motion tool. Each activity was defined to facilitate the coding of ACNP activities. Conclusion: A validated tool can contribute to our knowledge of ACNP activities and role components, and identify the ACNPs' contributions to patient care and the functioning of the health care team.
        Introduction : Les infirmières praticiennes spécialisées (IPS) des soins intensifs prodiguent des soins à la fine pointe des connaissances en soins infirmiers aux patients et à leur famille vivant une expérience de santé complexe aigue, critique ou chronique. Méthodologie : Un instrument de mesure du temps et des déplacements pour évaluer les activités des IPS des soins intensifs de cardiologie a été développé et validé lors d'un projet-pilote réalisé dans deux organisations. Résultats : Les chercheurs ont développé un instrument de mesure valide et fiable. La concordance interobservateur était de 0,94 suite au projet-pilote. Un guide et une cédule de formation ont été conçus pour accompagner l'instrument de mesure du temps et des déplacements. Chacune des activités des IPS des soins intensifs ont été définies afin de faciliter leur codage. Conclusion : Un instrument de mesure validé peut nous permettre de mieux connaître les activités et le rôle des IPS aux soins intensifs, d'identifier leur contribution dans les soins aux patients et la dynamique fonctionnelle de l'équipe de soins.
