The study examined surveys completed in 2006 by nearly 80,000 nurses in California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. According to the results, California hospital nurses cared for one less patient on average than nurses in the other states, and two fewer patients on medical and surgical units, according to the study.
Nurses whose workloads were in line with the California ratios reported less burnout and job dissatisfaction, and they also reported better quality of care, according to the report.
