Objective To construct a classification model for surgical patients and apply it in the allocation of nursing human resources,providing a reference for nursing human resource management.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to retrospectively select 5,431 hospitalized surgical patients admitted to 6 surgical nursing units of a tertiary general hospital in Suzhou from July to November 2022 as the subjects of this study.The nursing hours were measured,and related influencing factors were analyzed.A decision tree classification method was used to establish a classification model for surgical patients.From August to October 2022,1,527 hospitalized surgical patients admitted to 3 nursing units of the same hospital were conveniently selected.The minimum number of nurses required daily was calculated using the surgical patient classification model,actual nursing hours measurement method,nurse-to-bed ratio method,and 8-hour continuous shift scheduling method.The application effect of the surgical patient classification model in nursing human resource allocation was evaluated with the actual nursing hours measurement method as the standard.Results The surgical patient classification model includes 7 classification indicators:length of hospital stay,diagnosis-related group weight,presence or absence of secondary care orders,surgical grade,anesthesia method,age,and presence or absence of critical illness orders.Patients were divided into 14 groups,and the model explained 90.5％of the total variance in nursing workload.The minimum number of nurses required in surgical nursing units calculated based on this model was closest to the result of the actual nursing hours measurement method and was superior to the results of the nurse-to-bed ratio method and the 8-hour continuous shift scheduling method.Conclusion The surgical patient classification model can accurately reflect the nursing workload of such patients.The classification indicators are simple and easy to obtain,and can guide the allocation of human resources in surgical nursing units.

This study aims to summarize the clinical features of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)caused by intraspi-nal schwannoma by analyzing 19 cases of intraspinal schwannoma manifesting as SAH who were admitted to our hospital or reported in the literature.The patients in this study had the clinical manifestation of severe headache and vomiting,with-out the symptoms of spinal cord or nerve root compression.Lumbar puncture confirmed SAH,and cerebral digital subtrac-tion angiography did not show intracranial aneurysms or vascular malformations.Spinal cord MRI showed extramedullary intradural tumor in the cervical segment,and pathological biopsy results confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma.Some cases reported in the literature not only presented with SAH but also had the symptoms of spinal cord and nerve root com-pression.The clinical features of this disease suggest that clinicians should clarify the presence or absence of the symp-toms or signs of nerve root or spinal cord compression in SAH patients with negative intracranial imaging findings and per-form reasonable examinations to exclude intraspinal lesions.Early diagnosis and complete tumor resection can not only pre-vent bleeding and recurrence,but also effectively avoid irreversible damage to the spinal cord and nerve roots caused by the compression of intradural lesions in the spinal canal,thereby helping to improve the prognosis of patients.
