The study was conducted in Sanskar Hospital of dewas among 40 admitted patients selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using demographic proforma, structured nurse staffing assessment checklist and patient outcome assessment scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: Majority 17 (42.5%) patients were aged 31–45 years, 22 (55%) were male, 18 (45%) had secondary education, and 16 (40%) had hospital stay of 4–7 days. Mean nurse staffing score was 18.4±3.2 and mean patient outcome score was 24.8±4.1. Pearson correlation coefficient showed significant positive relationship between nurse staffing level and patient outcomes (r=0.72, p<0.05).
