Brief summary: Various tools for measuring nursing workload have been described in the national and international literature. For this purpose, Cullen et al. The Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS)-28, created by Miranda et al. Nursing Activities Score (NAS) was created by revising by. NAS covers 80.8% of all nursing activities, surpassing the 43.3% coverage of TISS-28.

Critical Nursing Situation Index (CNSI) has been validated and adapted in our country and has been found to be a valid and reliable scale for the Turkish society. The aim of this study is to adapt the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) to Turkish and determine its correlation with CNSI scores.

Detailed description: Various tools for measuring nursing workload have been described in the national and international literature. The Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS)-28, which is designed to classify the nursing workload of patients in intensive care units according to the severity of their illness to be evaluated by a panel of experts, evaluates 43.3% of nursing activities. Miranda et al. In order to reduce possible erroneous evaluations, some changes were made to TISS-28 and the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) was created. NAS covers 80.8% of all nursing activities, surpassing the 43.3% coverage of TISS-28.

The Critical Nursing Situation Index (CNSI), which was finalized with 84 items developed by Binnekade et al., was validated and adapted in our country and was found to be a valid and reliable scale for the Turkish society.

In this study, which was carried out to adapt and validate the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) into Turkish, the internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be p = 0.718 after a pilot study with a sample of 30 adult intensive care patients and 30 nurses. After the significant internal consistency obtained in the pilot study, it was aimed to examine the correlation of NAS internal consistency and CNSI scores in 150 work shift.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Nurses who serve patients over the age of 18 who stay in Level 3 intensive care for at least 24 hours

Exclusion Criteria:

* Those nurses; Serving patients under the age of 18, Caring for patients who are scheduled to be discharged from intensive care within 24 hours, Those who change their workplace for any reason during the work shift Who did not agree to participate in the study
