BACKGROUND: The need for standardized and valid measures for nursing-sensitive organizational outcomes has already been recognized in the literature. METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 21 inpatient acute care units in 9 organizations at the municipal primary healthcare level was conducted. Participants included licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and nurse managers. RESULTS: Workplace culture, especially the overarching factor of stress, correlated with the use of supplemental nursing staff and patients' length of stay. CONCLUSION: It is essential to find and test workplace-sensitive indicators so that managers will have a wider range of methods to plan and evaluate nursing outcomes. 2015 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.370-376articlehttps://doi.org/10.1097/NNA.0000000000000217
