| Summary: |
The objective of this cross-sectional, descriptive study was to evaluate the lighting conditions at nursing stations within the emergency center and intensive care unit of a healthcare facility in Cartagena, Colombia. Light measurements were based on the Colombian Lighting and Street Lightning Technical Regulations (Resolution 180540 of March 30, 2010, Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy). The results indicated that most workstations did not meet the lighting level standards required to perform nursing tasks. This evaluation will encourage organizations to improve their safety and health care management processes at workstations, while promoting patient safety. |
