The ramifications of Missing Nursing Care on adverse patient outcomes are profound. Insights gleaned from data offer valuable perspectives on nursing practices and their direct repercussions on patient well-being

Abstract

The study aims to explore the correlation between missed nursing care and adverse patient outcomes. It delves into the reasons behind missed nursing care leading to negative patient consequences. The research framework employs missed nursing care as an independent variable and adverse patient outcomes as a dependent variable. Utilizing convenient sampling, this cross-sectional quantitative deductive study gathered data from nurses. All factors under scrutiny were assessed via questionnaires utilizing an appropriate Likert scale. Out of a total population of 411 nurses, 202 were sampled. The study's findings indicate a direct relationship between missed nursing care and adverse patient outcomes, demonstrating that an increase in missed nursing care corresponds to a rise in negative patient consequences. These outcomes were statistically significant, with reliable scales and valid data. The research concludes that reducing missed nursing care is pivotal for improving adverse patient outcomes. It recommends offering advanced skill courses, implementing thorough monitoring of nurses' activities, and mandating the self-reporting of missed patient care and adverse events
