Nurses have historically had a significant impact on consumer perceptions of healthcare quality. Patient, family-centered care (PFCC) may also be instrumental in improving opinions of quality. In the intensive care unit (ICU), it can be both necessary and appropriate to evaluate family perceptions of quality to determine satisfaction with care. Objectives: To evaluate the quality of nursing care received in ICUs practicing PFCC as perceived by patients' families and to examine if this satisfaction positively correlates with satisfaction in the overall hospitalization and intent to recommend services to others. Design: A quality improvement study was conducted using a modified version of the Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ). Surveys were administered to a convenience sample of 31 family members of patients receiving care in three, PFCC, ICUs in a Detroit, metropolitan, teaching hospital. Results: Total PSNCQQ mean for the study sample was rated a "very good" (M=4.187, SD=.142). A strong positive correlation was found between the total PSNCQQ mean and: the overall quality of nursing care (r (29) = .905, p

This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue contains a series of articles focused on various initiatives aimed at improving the quality of patient care delivery and promoting safe passage across the continuum of care. Exemplary, evidence-based nursing practice is the cornerstone of quality care, and this issue highlights many ways in which nurses have led changes to optimize patient outcomes. In addition, quality care enhances cost-effectiveness by reducing avoidable complications and diminishing avoidable hospital readmissions, a concept more important than ever due to value-based purchasing and the Affordable Care Act. Articles are specifically devoted to prevention of delirium in critical care patients, palliative care in the intensive care unit, prevention of pressure ulcers, fall prevention in high-risk patients, prevention readmissions, preventing sepsis mortality, and nursing interventions in the elderly critical care patient, to name a few.

Seattle Children’s Hospital’s (SCH) Bellevue campus PACU routinely involves families in Phase I but, despite the same mission that includes family-centered care, the Seattle PACU does not consistently involve families in Phase I. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to analyze nurse and family perceptions of Phase I and to propose a practice change that promotes family-centered care in the Seattle Phase I PACU"--Abstract.
Download or read book Challenging Families written by Allyn Sager Rippin and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trend towards patient-and family-centered care (PFCC) invites families of critically ill patients to participate more fully in the care and recovery of their loved ones through partnerships with the medical team and personalized care that respects the values, beliefs and experiences of the individual. In response to the growing needs of families, healthcare institutions are re-designing the way patient and family care is delivered in terms of policy, culture and the physical environment. Despite the many benefits that come with closer collaboration, nurses report that "challenging" families are a key source of workplace stress. This exploratory case study documents some of these challenges as perceived by staff nurses at Emory University Hospital's Neuro ICU while examining the role the built environment plays in shaping such perceptions. Through a series of ethnographic interviews and observational methodologies, the study identifies some of the challenges and benefits that come with balancing patient and family needs. Nurse strategies developed to reassert spatial and temporal control over work environments are also identified. The second phase of research compares communication patterns generated from two different ICUs to explore the link between unit design and the frequency and quality of nurse-family interactions. Findings suggest that space plays a role in moderating the degree of nurse exposure to the often unstructured and unpredictable aspects of family interactions. These encounters, set within a highly charged critical care setting, may contribute to these perceived challenges. Healthcare stands at an important moment of transition in which attitudes, behaviors and expectations are changing. Together these results reinforce the need for adequate tools, training and education to further support nurses in the transition to this new care culture.
