The workload rate of cardiothoracic surgery was as high as 96.3%, direct care accounted for 12.0%, indirect care accounted for 62.5%, related care accounted for 4.5%, other nursing work accounted for 17.2%, and personal time accounted for 3.7% of nursing work. Conclusion: The findings suggest that nursing workload is high in cardiothoracic surgery. The proportion of direct nursing time is low, and a certain amount of time is wasted in nursing work.
