Factors Affecting Nurses' Response Time in Emergency Patient Management

Abstract

Introduction: Emergency Departments Require Fast And Accurate Services Because Patients Often Experience Life-Threatening Conditions Requiring Immediate Intervention. Nurses Play An Important Role In Determining The Speed Of Initial Emergency Management Through Response Time. Delayed Response Time May Increase The Risk Of Complications, Disability, And Mortality. Several Factors May Influence Nurses’ Response Time, Including Workload, Clinical Experience, Emergency Training, And Availability Of Healthcare Facilities. Objective: This Study Aimed To Analyze Factors Affecting Nurses’ Response Time In Managing Emergency Patients In The Emergency Department. Methods: This Study Used A Quantitative Analytical Design With A Cross-Sectional Approach Conducted In 2023. The Sample Consisted Of 75 Emergency Nurses Selected Using Purposive Sampling. Data Were Collected Using Questionnaires And Observation Sheets Measuring Workload, Work Experience, Emergency Training, Educational Level, Facility Availability, And Response Time. Data Were Analyzed Using The Chi-Square Test. Results: The Results Showed That 58.7% Of Nurses Had Fast Response Time (≤5 Minutes), While 41.3% Had Delayed Response Time (>5 Minutes). Factors Significantly Associated With Response Time Were Workload (P=0.002), Work Experience (P=0.014), Emergency Training (P=0.001), And Facility Availability (P=0.006). Educational Level Was Not Significantly Associated With Response Time (P=0.083). Conclusion: Nurses’ Response Time In Emergency Services Is Influenced By Workload, Clinical Experience, Emergency Competency Training, And Healthcare Facility Support. Improving Nurse Competency And Optimizing Emergency Service Systems Are Needed To Improve Emergency Care Quality.
