Visualization of Midwives’ Professional Work Time a Comparative Analysis Between Obstetric Internal Medicine and Surgical Nursing

Obstetric day shifts showed higher median time in Documentation & Coordination (Domain III), although the omnibus test was not significant; surgery had the highest median in Clinical Settings (Domain II; omnibus p = 0.0368); and Operational Management (Domain IV) differed by ward with only the Surgery vs. Internal Medicine contrast remaining significant after Holm adjustment (adjusted p = 0.0476). These patterns may inform staffing models that explicitly weight indirect-care tasks-especially documentation/coordination-alongside direct care when allocating resources. Future work should extend to nights/weekends and incorporate patient acuity and staffing mix. Generalizability is limited by the single-center, weekday day-shift design.
