<strong>RN4CAST</strong> <strong>RATIONALE</strong><br />

Example of the dynamics between nursing organization of care<br />

and patient outcomes and nurse wellbeing (Aiken et al., 2010)<br />

Nurse staffing levels in Californian hospitals increased<br />

substantially after mandated minimum nurse-to-patient ratios.<br />

When compared to states with higher workloads, Californian<br />

workloads are associated to lower patient mortality, and lower<br />

nurse burnout, job dissatisfaction and, and better nurseperceived<br />

quality of care.<br />
