title: [A survey of the work load of the nursing personnel at the Cantu Hospital].
abstract: As needed to obtain data to evaluate charitable requirements of persons, who come into the hospital, our nurses decided to employ, for work burden study of department or services, a scientific method--Swiss method--appropriately modified, as required by themselves. This article describes: aim--method--development stages--fulfillment--evaluation and its correlative with statistical items cards used in departments/services and with the explications of each question, just to avoid incongrousness in compilation by hospital workers. In check-stage we reported the results obtained in six months research, with comparison data between actual need and nurses real presence in observed departments or services. We don't think to have exhausted nurse-need problem, but this six-months follow-up may give scientifical basis to matron for request of personnel new units or for mobility choices.
