The length of stay (LOS) in the general ward is an important indicator of hospital efficiency and patient satisfaction. This study aimed to examine the correlation between nurse staffing levels and length of stay in the general ward, providing valuable insights into the impact of nursing resources on patient outcomes. A correlational study design was employed to investigate the relationship between nurse staffing levels and length of stay in the general ward. Data were collected from multiple hospitals, including nurse staffing data (such as nurse-to-patient ratios) and patient LOS records. Statistical analysis, including correlation analysis and regression analysis, was used to assess the association between nurse staffing levels and length of stay. The results indicated a significant correlation between nurse staffing levels and length of stay in the general ward. Hospitals with higher nurse-to-patient ratios were associated with shorter lengths of stay, indicating that adequate nurse staffing positively influenced patient outcomes. Regression analysis further revealed that nurse staffing levels significantly predicted the length of stay, even after controlling for potential confounding factors. This correlation study provides evidence of the relationship between nurse staffing levels and length of stay in the general ward. The findings suggest that adequate nurse staffing is crucial for efficient patient care and can contribute to shorter lengths of stay. Healthcare institutions should prioritize appropriate nurse staffing levels to enhance patient outcomes, improve resource utilization, and promote overall hospital efficiency.
