Article Abstract
Aim(s): This study aims to evaluate the workload of clinical nurses by measuring the work relative value (work RVU) of common nursing items based on the resource-based relative value scale in China.
Background: Various single measurements have been employed to measure the nursing workload, but no comprehensive method has yet to be developed in China.
Methods: A descriptive study was conducted to construct a common item set for nursing work in general wards on the basis of the 2019 History Information System nursing database from Class A tertiary hospitals to identify the time associated with each service. Data cleaning methods, expert consensus meetings, observational methods, Delphi consensus methods and the analytic hierarchy processes were employed.
Results: A common item set for nursing work was established, which contained 2 first-level indexes, 8 secondary-level indexes and 79 third-level indexes. The average working hours of the common items ranged from 1.38 to 23.76 min. The top three nursing items identified were: extra large dressing change, cleaning enema, and nasal feeding catheterization.
Conclusions: The common nursing items used in general wards were universal. The work RVU of common items comprehensively evaluates clinical nurses' workload, which can better meet the needs of management.
Implications: The work RVU of common items will facilitate effective and comprehensive allocation of nursing human resources and performance assessment.
Reporting Method: We have adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines and named the reporting method.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major public health issue, significantly affecting the health and well-being of women and children. Research indicates a strong link between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and increased PPD rates. While the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q) is widely used for ACE screening, the Childhood Traumatic Events Scale (CTES) may better capture trauma items not covered by the ACE-Q, along with the timing and severity of ACEs.
