Methods: For 388 nurses working in the integrated nursing wards of 30 hospitals, the importance, performance frequency, and difficulty of nursing tasks were analyzed using 31 job categories (678 items). Nursing tasks were analyzed using ImportancePerformance Analysis by hospital type.
Results: Tertiary hospitals and general hospitals were analyzed using Importance-Performance Analysis, and the categories of general nursing intervention, spiritual and end of life nursing, and nursing during examination differed by hospital type. Other tasks into the same categories. 'Keep up the Good Work' includes 12 tasks: nursing assessment, medication and blood transfusion, admission or discharge management, and cooperation and coordination. 'Concentrate Here' had three tasks: emergency care, education to nurses, self-development. 'Possible Overkill' included supportive contact, environmental management, and product management. 'Low Priority' has ten tasks, including administration and organization management, facility management.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify level of recognition of the importance, satisfaction and contribution of APNs' role by physicians, nurses, and advanced practice nurses. METHOD Perceived importance and satisfaction were measured with a 23-item questionnaire on APN role with 5 subcategories. APNs' contribution was investigated using a 13-item outcome questionnaire developed by the researchers. Between August 15 and October 31, 2009, the researchers collected data from 68 physicians, 265 nurses, and 23 APNs all working in a single tertiary hospital. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis Test with Bonferroni's Correction and scatter plot. RESULT The importance (3.24~3.39, 4 point scale), satisfaction (3.02~3.13, 4 point scale), and contribution of APNs' role (3.39~4.12, 5 point scale) were well recognized by the health care professionals. All the three health care professional groups rated APNs' contribution high in medical service management, continuity of care, patient accessibility, improvement in patient satisfaction, and patient and family education. 'Importance-Satisfaction Analysis' showed that patient data management by APNs needed greater effort. CONCLUSIONS The findings show that the importance, satisfaction, contribution of APNs' role are recognized, and indicate a need for further development of APNs' role through efforts to overcome the gaps identified through this research.
