Background Understanding multitasking within nursing and midwifery is needed for efficient, effective, and cost-effective health services. Methods are needed to measure and analyze multitasking in alignment with the nursing process. The Omaha System operationalizes the nursing process and may be a valuable resource for multitasking analysis. Purpose The purpose of this study was to develop and test a method for describing intervention content of nurse/midwife multitasked interventions using the Omaha System and Time Capture Tool (TimeCaT) in a family health center in Turkey. Methods Eight nurses/midwives were observed with TimeCaT in a family health center in 2016. Preidentified 84 nurse/midwife interventions employed in the center were mapped on Omaha System terms and entered in TimeCaT software for data collection. Co-occurring interventions were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and visualization techniques. Results Of 1066.8 total minutes observed, 34.0% included more than one intervention that occurred at the same time. Caretaking/parenting and postpartum problems, teaching, guidance, and counseling category, and caretaking/parenting skills target were more often multitasked than others. Implications for Practice It was feasible to use the Omaha System and TimeCaT to categorize, describe, and measure multitasking nursing/midwifery interventions. This method may be applied to other time–motion data when more than one co-occurring intervention is recorded.

使用Omaha系统描述多任务干预内容的方法开发。

背景技术需要了解护理和助产术中的多任务处理才能获得有效，有效和具有成本效益的卫生服务。需要根据护理过程来测量和分析多任务处理的方法。奥马哈系统可用于护理过程，可能是进行多任务分析的宝贵资源。目的这项研究的目的是开发和测试一种方法，该方法使用Omaha系统和时间捕获工具（TimeCaT）在土耳其的家庭健康中心描述护士/助产士多任务干预的干预内容。方法2016年在一家家庭保健中心对8名护士/助产士进行了TimeCaT观察。根据Omaha System术语将预先确定的该中心采用的84种护士/助产士干预措施进行映射，并输入到TimeCaT软件中进行数据收集。使用描述性和推断性统计数据以及可视化技术分析了同时发生的干预措施。结果观察到的总分钟数为1066.8分钟，其中34.0％包括同时进行的一项以上干预。照料/育儿和产后问题，教学，指导和咨询类别以及照料/育儿技能目标通常比其他人承担多任务。实践的意义使用奥马哈系统和TimeCaT对多任务护理/助产学干预措施进行分类，描述和衡量是可行的。当记录了多个同时发生的干预措施时，该方法可能会应用于其他时动数据。0％包括同时发生的一项以上干预。照料/育儿和产后问题，教学，指导和咨询类别以及照料/育儿技能目标通常比其他人承担多任务。实践的意义使用奥马哈系统和TimeCaT对多任务护理/助产学干预措施进行分类，描述和衡量是可行的。当记录了多个同时发生的干预措施时，该方法可能会应用于其他时动数据。0％包括同时发生的一项以上干预。照料/育儿和产后问题，教学，指导和咨询类别以及照料/育儿技能目标通常比其他人承担多任务。实践的意义使用奥马哈系统和TimeCaT对多任务护理/助产学干预措施进行分类，描述和衡量是可行的。当记录了多个同时发生的干预措施时，该方法可能会应用于其他时动数据。
