The Criterion Validity, Reliability, and Feasibility of an Instrument for Assessing the Nursing Intensity in Perioperative Settings

Table 3

Nursing intensity scores in different follow-up units.

Phase	Follow-up unit			value
	Home (); Mean/median (IQR)	Ward (); Mean/median (IQR)	ICU; (); Mean/median (IQR)
Pre phase	7.0/7.0	8.2/8.0	9.0/9.0
	(6.0–8.0)	(6.0–9.0)	(8.0–10.0)
	Intra phase	9.5/9.0	10.7/10.0		17.1/17.0	<
(8.0–11.0)		(8.0–13.0)	(15.0–19.0)
Post phase		8.2/8.0	8.9/8.0	9.5/9.5
	(7.0–9.0)	(7.0–10.0)	(9.0–10.0)

IQR = interquartile range; ICU = intensive care unit; –Whitney test. Two patients who were transferred to the ICU were excluded from the analysis. -Wallis test; significant differences in pairwise comparisons between follow-up units with Mann–Whitney tests using Bonferroni-corrected values: Home versus ward (), home versus ICU (), and ward versus ICU ().
