Staffing Patterns and Pressure Injury Incidence in Swiss Long-Term Care: A Time-to-Event Study
This study provides evidence that CSSs by RNX are associated with reduced pressure injury incidence in Swiss LTC. This protective effect has become more pronounced in recent years, highlighting the importance of expanded roles in addressing current LTC challenges. The findings also suggest evaluating protective staffing patterns to enhance resident safety. Further research is needed to validate these results across diverse settings and to explore how staffing configurations impact care quality and outcomes.
