Abstract
Nursing activities are often forced to be prioritized to address medical needs and promote patient safety thereby omitting other significant activities like documentation and emotional support. Moreover, withholding, limiting or omitting holistic care significantly contributes to high mortality rate, undesirable patient outcomes, increased risks for nosocomial infections and falls, risks for pressure ulcer, and dampened quality of medical care which should be the top priority in healthcare (Tomaszewska, Majchrowic, & Ratusznik, 2021). A healthy work environment refers to one in which nurses can meet work goals and objectives while personally enjoying performing their job in their workplace. However, shortage of nursing staff, job dissatisfaction, low productivity, poor quality of nurse’s work lives and precarious patient care can all be associated to deficiency for a productive and a healthy workplace (Flaubert et al, 2021). This study used analytical, cross-sectional study design as it aims to determine the rationing of nursing care and its relationship to nurse practice environment. In this study, the researchers aim to determine the level of rationing of implicit nursing care, the relationship of nursing care rationing and nurses' practice environment and if there is a relationship between nursing care rationing and nurse-related variables. This can be thought of as a “snapshot” of the frequency and characteristics of a condition in a population at a particular point in time. This study provides knowledge about the levels of rationing of care and its relationship to nurse practice in a level 2 private hospital. The result of the study shows that there is no significant relationship between the rationing of nursing care and the nurse practice environment. The majority of the respondents involved in the study had low levels of correlating demographic profile and work environment practice which showed relatively no significance on their level of adherence to nursing care.
