Purpose: This study was done to identify the workload of Registered Nurses for nursing service in a hospital by using the RBRVS (Resource-Based Relative Value Scale).
Method: The methodology for this study of RBRVS is basically Hsiao’s. First stage: identify nursing activities. Second stage: measure workload of nursing activities.
Result & Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that the workload of Registered Nurses for nursing service was measured by considering time, physical effort, mental effort and judgement, and stress. The names and range of nursing activities were unclear. Therefore, in future studies naming of nursing activities and measurement of nursing activities should be done and relative values assess considering a balance of factors of relative value(time, physical effort, mental effort and judgement, and stress).
