Predictive values and other quality criteria of the German version of the Nurse-Work Instability Scale (Nurse-WIS) – follow-up survey findings of a prospective study of a cohort of geriatric care workers

摘要

BackgroundUntil now there has been a lack of effective screening instruments for health care workers at risk. To counteract the forecast shortage for health care workers, the offer of early interventions to maintain their work ability will become a central concern. The Nurse-Work Instability Scale (Nurse-WIS) seems to be suitable as a screening instrument and therefore a prospective study of a cohort of nursing staff from nursing homes was undertaken to validate the Nurse-Work Instability Scale (Nurse-WIS).
