Diese Arbeit prüft den Anteil der Arbeitszeit, den psychiatrische Pflegekräfte in potenziell psychotherapeutisch wirksamer Eins-zu-eins-Kommunikation mit Patienten verbringen. Auf drei Akutaufnahmestationen eines psychiatrischen Krankenhauses in Nordirland wurden zwanzig Pflegekräfte beobachtet. Mit einem speziell dafür entwickelten Beobachtungsinstrument „Nurses Daily Activity Recording System (NURDARS)” (System zur Aufzeichnung täglicher Aktivitäten) wurde die Zeit aufgezeichnet, die die Pflegekräfte mit einer Auswahl von Routineaufgaben verbrachten. Die Ergebnisse: a) Sie verbrachten weniger als die Hälfte der Arbeitszeit (42,7 %) im Kontakt mit Patienten, b) der Anteil an Arbeitszeit, der auf potenziell psychotherapeutisch wirksame Interaktion mit Patienten verwendet wurde, war sehr klein (6,75 %). Die Diskussion umfasst Bedeutung und Grenzen der Studie, Vorschläge für Management und Praxis der psychiatrischen Pflege, für die Ausbildung und für weitere Forschung.
