The instrument that was used was an observation sheet to obtain quantitative data using a work sampling form as well as time and motion study. The workload calculation done by analyzing the comparison of the percentage of productive activity implementation time and nonproductive activity implementation time.Highworkload> 80%, optimum = 80%, light<80% of the total time done by nurses.
