摘 要：With in creasing dema nds on medical care services,one of the trends is the mixed patient room arrangement of single/double-bed and multi-bed rooms in a nursing unit on the same *** influences nurse-to-patient assignment and often causes an unbalanced workload and longer travel distances for *** objective of this study was to investigate how floor configuration and room density influence nurse travel in the hospitafs medical surgical urdts in *** study presented a novel approach to measure nurse travel distances in eight existingn ursing *** agent-based simulation was con ducted to model nurses walking trails,and the distanee of one nurse travel to assigned patient rooms was measured for each *** revisions in the spatial arrangement of patient rooms,locating multibed rooms near the nurse station,symmetric room layout centering the nurse station,and planning both single/double-bed and multi-bed rooms on one side of corridors,nurse travel distanee decreased more than 15%.This study contributed to the knowledge of agent-based simulation as an evaluation framework for spatial *** from application to Korea,these results are particularly of interest in countries where private patient rooms are not commonly economically feasible.
