A study conducted by researchers at Ewha Womans University in South Korea examined the impact of registered nurse (RN) staffing levels on inpatient outcomes in long-term care hospitals in the country. The study found that higher RN staffing levels were associated with improvements in various patient outcomes, such as pain management, activities of daily living, and the prevalence of pressure ulcers. The researchers concluded that increasing RN staffing levels could enhance patient safety and treatment outcomes, providing valuable data for developing policies to optimize RN staffing in long-term care hospitals in South Korea.
