Shows the impact of staffing on missed nursing care in perinatal units, suggesting the need for standard measures.
Missed nursing care is a recognized indicator of quality of care across hospital settings. The prevalence of missed perinatal nursing care was driven by inadequate staffing and other structural factors which may also contribute to nurse burnout and job dissatisfaction.

A universal measure for the perinatal context could advance understanding of perinatal missed care.
