| Summary: | Objective: to determine the factors that influence the missed nursing care in hospitalized patients.
Methods: descriptive correlational study developed at a private hospital in Mexico. To identify the
missed nursing care and related factors, the MISSCARE survey was used, which measures the
care missed and associated factors. The care missed and the factors were grouped in global and
dimension rates. For the analysis, descriptive statistics, Spearman’s correlation and simple linear
regression were used. Approval for the study was obtained from the ethics committee. Results:
the participants were 71 nurses from emergency, intensive care and inpatient services. The
global missed care index corresponded to M=7.45 (SD=10.74); the highest missed care index
was found in the dimension basic care interventions (M=13.02, SD=17.60). The main factor
contributing to the care missed was human resources (M=56.13, SD=21.38). The factors related
to the care missed were human resources (rs
=0.408, p<0.001) and communication (rs
=0.418,
p<0.001). Conclusions: the nursing care missed is mainly due to the human resource factor;
these study findings will permit the strengthening of nursing care continuity.
