After the leadoff paper by Myrtle K. Aydelotte, which presented an overview of nurse staffing research, 10 papers werepresented on variables considered to be significant in influencing the quantitative and qualitative demand for nurse staffing. These included patients' requirements for nursing services, architectural design of the hospital, administrative and cost factors, andsocial-psychological factors. In addition, papers were presented on the evaluation of quality of nursing care and the impact of computerized information systems on staffing. The papers were followed by presentationsby discussion leaders who addressed themselves to points raised in the papers. These presentaions, the openingremarks of Jessie N. Scott, and a summary and synthesis of the entire conference are also included in the publication. Appended are four task force reports offering recommendations on future directions for research.

I am hopeful that it will prove to be a valuable addition to the literature on nurse staffing. As the opening paper by Dr. Myrtle K. Aydelotte makes clear, the existing literature has many deficiencies, not the least of which are the many gaps in knowledge. The papers presented at the conference contain the latest findings on many important areas of nurse staffing research and will help to close they! gaps. The Division of Nursing's concern with the problems of nurse staffing goes back many years as we have attempted to improve the quality and quantity of nursing care in the Nation. We have supported considerable research in this area, both by our own staff and through grants and contracts to researchers in universities and professional organizations and in hospitals and other health care settings. The many publications issued by the Division in addition to study findings include descriptions of methodology for studying the use of nursing skills, assessing the quality of nursing care, and planning for better matching of nursing resources and needs. The conference and this resulting publication are natural extensions of our efforts to improve nurse staffing. This publication is a companion volume to Dr. Avdelotte's comprehensive critique of nurse staffing methodology. These two publications should lie useful to researchers, educators, administrators, practitioners, and all who are concerned with the improvement of nursing staffing in hospitals. Juan M.
