[PMID: 39260290 DOI: 10.1016/j.pec.2024.108401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper aims to explore nurses' experiences with ad-hoc patient education (AHPE) in an acute inpatient setting. METHODS We conducted nine focus groups with 34 nurses. Data was analysed using thematic analysis and the social-ecological model (SEM). FINDINGS We identified two main themes. 1) characteristics of AHPE: the complexity, contents, and timing of AHPE, as well as features of successful AHPE. The central phenomenon was the subconscious and incidental nature of AHPE. This negatively impacts charting and recognition of patient education as a core nursing responsibility. 2) requirements for successful AHPE, using the SEM: a) interpersonal level: nurses' own expertise, personality traits, and attitude; b) intrapersonal level: relationship building, communication at eye-level, and recognising patients' receptivity and education needs; c) institutional level: environmental factors (time, space, and clear responsibilities within care teams) and the charting system; d) social level: recognition and appreciation for the value of patient education. CONCLUSION AHPE often occurs subconciously and unreflected. Patient education can positively impact patient outcomes; however, this requires a complex interaction of factors on multiple systemic levels. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Awareness raising for AHPE, its value for patients and society, and its proper charting is needed on multiple levels to ensure patient safety and the peace of mind of care teams.

Janerka C, Leslie GD, Gill FJ. Development of patient-centred care in acute hospital settings: A meta-narrative review. Int J Nurs Stud 2023; 140:104465. [PMID: 36857979 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2023.104465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-centred care is widely recognised as a core aspect of quality health care and has been integrated into policy internationally. There remains a disconnect between policy and practice, with organisations and researchers continuing to offer definitions and frameworks to suit the operational context. It is unclear if and how patient-centred care has been adopted in the acute care context. AIM To understand the development of patient-centred care in the context of acute hospital settings over the past decade. METHODS A literature review was conducted in accordance with RAMESES standards and principles for meta-narrative reviews. Five databases (Medline, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, JBI) were searched for full-text articles published between 2012 and 2021 related to patient-centred care in the acute care setting, in the context of nursing, medicine and health policy. Literature reviews and discussion papers were excluded. Articles were selected based on their relevance to the research aim. Descriptive and thematic analysis and synthesis of data were undertaken via an interpretivist process to understand the development of the topic. RESULTS One hundred and twenty four articles were included that reported observational studies (n = 78), interventions (n = 34), tool development (n = 7), expert consensus (n = 2), quality improvement (n = 2), and reflection (n = 1). Most studies were conducted in developed countries and reported the perspective of patients (n = 33), nurses (n = 29), healthcare organisations (n = 7) or multiple perspectives (n = 50). Key words, key authors and organisations for patient-centred care were commonly recognised and provided a basis for the research. Fifty instruments measuring patient-centred care or its aspects were identified. Of the 34 interventions, most were implemented at the micro (clinical) level (n = 25) and appeared to improve care (n = 30). Four articles did not report outcomes. Analysis of the interventions identified three main types: i) staff-related, ii) patient and family-related, and iii) environment-related. Analysis of key findings identified five meta-narratives: i) facilitators of patient-centred care, ii) threats to patient-centred care, iii) outcomes of patient-centred care, iv) elements of patient-centred care, and v) expanding our understanding of patient-centred care. CONCLUSIONS Interest in patient centred care continues to grow, with reports shifting from conceptualising to operationalising patient-centred care. Interventions have been successfully implemented in acute care settings at the micro level, further research is needed to determine their sustainability and macro level implementation. Health services should consider staff, patient and organisational factors that can facilitate or threaten patient-centred care when planning interventions. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Patient-centred care in acute care settings - we have arrived! Is it sustainable?

Idilbi N, Grimberg Z, Drach-Zahavy A. Haemodialysis patient's adherence to treatment: Relationships among nurse-patient-initiated participation and nurse's attitude towards patient participation. J Clin Nurs 2022. [PMID: 35854651 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationship between nurse-patient-initiated participation, nurses' attitudes towards patient's participation, and patients' adherence to treatment. Specifically, to (1) explore nurse-patient participation during haemodialysis and quantify the information into measurable indices; (2) determine the haemodialysis patient's adherence to treatment; (3) describe nurses' attitudes towards patient participation; and (4) establish the relationships between nurse-patient-initiated participation, nurses' attitudes towards patient participation and patients' adherence to treatment. BACKGROUND To improve haemodialysis patients' health, it is crucial to identify nurses' and patients' factors facilitating adherence to treatment. DESIGN An exploratory-sequential mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) design. METHODS All nurses working at a dialysis ward (n = 30) and their randomly selected patients (n = 102) participated. Qualitative data on nurse-patient-initiated participation were derived from transcribed nurse-patient conversations and quantified for further analyses. Nurses' attitudes towards patient participation were collected via questionnaire, and adherence to treatment via observed reduction in prescribed haemodialysis time. [CONSORT-SPI guidelines]. RESULTS Content analysis of the conversations indicated that nurse-initiated participation focused on patient's medical condition, treatment plan and education; while patients initiated more small talk. Non-adherence to treatment was significant (Mean = 0.19 h; SD = 0.33). Regression analyses indicated that nurses' attitude towards participation was negatively linked to patient adherence, while patient-nurse-initiated participation was unrelated. Nurses' attitudes towards patient participation moderated the relationship between nurse-patient-initiated participation and patient adherence: the more positive the attitude towards inclusion the more negative the link between patient or nurse-initiated participation and patient adherence. CONCLUSIONS The findings provided paradoxical insights: Nurses' positive attitudes towards participation lead them to accept the patient's position for shortening haemodialysis treatment, so that adherence to care decreases. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Nurses require education on negotiating methods to help achieve patient adherence while respecting the patient's opinion. Patients should be educated how to approach nurses, seeking the information they need.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this integrative review was to explore how adolescents and young adults used the social determinant of the built environment, specifically greenspace, as a potential point of intervention to address overall well-being, specifically mental health symptoms. METHOD The approach used strategies described by Whittemore and Knafl. Peer-reviewed, published research articles in English were identified using electronic databases CINAHL, PubMed, and EMBASE. Seventeen research reports using qualitative or quantitative methods with adolescents and young adults. Each article was evaluated for quality using a critical appraisal tool by Hawker et al. Data were analyzed and then synthesized using the Matrix Method. FINDINGS Three themes related to the purpose and aims were extracted: elements of greenspace, activity variation, and amenities. All themes shared a common element of quality, which influenced the perception of safety and greenspace use. DISCUSSION The science of urban greenspace and adolescent-young adult well-being is still relatively new. Public health nurses can incorporate social determinants of health, such as the built environment in research, to understand how greenspace is to be used as an alternative health strategy to possibly reduce mental health symptoms and improve well-being.

Abstract
Prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer are the three most frequently diagnosed urological cancers. Educational programs could teach patients to become experts in disease management. The aim of this scoping review was to explore the literature to identify the educational requirements and strategies for improving and implementing educational processes for urological patients undergoing surgery. We searched several databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library. All adult patients undergoing urological educational interventions were included in the review. Of 3,197 initially identified articles, 42 were retained. Urological patients undergoing prostatectomy, cystectomy, and nephrectomy require cognitive, psychological, and functional support. For each level of support, several methods exist to provide support, including informational brochures, preoperative counseling, telephone support, online content, educational videos, support groups, individual stress management interventions, peer support, online interventions, partner support, and various educational programs that help the patient manage negative effects associated with the urological intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient or person-centered care has become a widely used philosophical framework and yet has varying definitions and characteristics. Person-centered care has recently been conceptualized as patient empowerment, engagement, and activation with studies citing positive outcomes. PURPOSE This study reports the psychometric properties of the Patient Empowerment, Engagement, and Activation Survey. METHODS An instrument development and testing approach was used. RESULTS A 21-item survey was developed demonstrating respectable Cronbach α coefficients for the total scale (α = 0.88) and for each subscale: Empowerment (α = 0.71), Engagement (α = 0.81), and Activation (α = 0.76). A regression analysis with 1 item, "I am ready to be discharged" as the dependent variable and all other items as independent variables explained 65% of the variance in readiness for discharge (P < .001). DISCUSSION The Patient Empowerment, Engagement, and Activation Survey can be used to evaluate patients' perspectives of care quality (empowerment and engagement) and readiness for discharge (activation).

Patient-Level Barriers and Facilitators to Early Mobilization and the Relationship With Physical Disability Post-Intensive Care: Part 2 of an Integrative Review Through the Lens of the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. Dimens Crit Care Nurs 2021; 40:164-173.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early mobilization (EM) is associated with reduced physical disability post-intensive care (PD PIC). Yet, contextual factors facilitate or impede delivery of EM in the intensive care unit (ICU). Only 45% of ICUs in the United States routinely practice EM despite its recognized benefits. OBJECTIVES To analyze the evidence on the relationship between critical care EM, PD PIC, and personal (patient-level) factors, using the theoretical lens of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). METHOD The Whittemore and Knafl methodology for integrative reviews and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) reporting guidelines were followed. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies (n = 38) that evaluated EM and 1 or more domains of the World Health Organization ICF were included. Quality was appraised using the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool. Study characteristics were evaluated for common themes and relationships. The ICF domains and subdomains pertaining to each study were synthesized. RESULTS Early mobilization delivery was influenced by personal factors. Deeper sedation level, the presence of delirium, higher patient acuity, the presence of medical devices, and patient weight were identified barriers to EM delivery. Patient engagement in EM was associated with improved delivery. Patients who enjoyed rehabilitation were more likely to demonstrate improvement in functional impairment than those who did not enjoy rehabilitation. DISCUSSION Early mobilization is associated with reduced PD PIC, yet numerous contextual factors affect the delivery of EM in the ICU. Further study of patient-level factors and EM must explore the relationship between patient engagement, baseline demographics, and functional status at ICU admission, patient-level considerations for decisions to mobilize, and EM in the ICU. This research is critical to improving the delivery of EM in the ICU and reducing PD PIC.

Abstract
Despite the importance of the therapeutic relationship on nursing practice, the literature regarding teaching and learning therapeutic relationship is limited. This paper discussed how an undergraduate nursing student learned therapeutic relationship in an acute care setting. Narrative inquiry was applied as a research methodology. The student's reflection served as the narrative in this paper. Collaboratively, researchers conducted data analysis, common themes were drawn, and a summative narrative was presented. Based on the student's narrative, a three-dimensional model, including practical knowledge, theory, and reflection, has been created as our summative narrative. This model suggests that, to facilitate a learning process on creating therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, practical knowledge is the foundation, theory is a leading guide, and constant reflection is a learning tool which transforms learning into a reflective and meaningful experience. To promote learning on therapeutic relationship, nurse educators should emphasize the importance of both practical knowledge and theory. Constant reflection as a learning tool should be encouraged and embedded in nursing curriculum. Diverse approaches of reflection should be promoted.
