Download or read book Is There a Relationship Between Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care and the Patient s Willingness to Return to that Hospital for Further Care written by Marie Galletta and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess patient satisfaction with nursing care as a gauge to determine the patient's willingness to return to that hospital for further care. The Patient Satisfaction Scale was distributed to a sample of twenty-five females at a community hospital located on Staten Island. This survey elicited the patients' attitudes towards nursing care and their willingness to return to that institute for further care. This study was conducted anonymously on an in-patient basis. Included in this study were women between 18 and 45 years of age who were 24 hours post vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Data was analyzed utilizing a simple correlation method. High correlation was found between patient satisfaction with nursing care and the client's willingness to return to that hospital for further care. This places the nurse in a crucial position to influence patient's perceptions of their hospitalization. Nursing implications are concerned with the nurse extending social courtesy and service to the patient to help ensure patient satisfaction. This study makes recommendations to implement this survey on an out-patient basis to elicit truer feelings. Provisions for better control of such variables as the hospital utilized for the study and patient and staff characteristics could be made to obtain significant results. Other factors such as hospital location, medical care and hospital technology should be examined to determine the client's willingness to return to the hospital for further care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "PICO (Population, intervention, comparison group, outcome) question: In hospitalized medical/surgical patients, what is the effect of relationship-based care on patient satisfaction compared to standard care? Over the past decade, the measurement of patient satisfaction has led to an increased appreciation of the significance of the patient experience, their expectations and perceptions of the care they receive. Patient satisfaction is no longer simply the "nice" or "right thing" to do if you have time. In the current highly competitive environment, it is a necessary business choice. Satisfied customers are loyal and may be counted on for repeat business or for recommendations of the hospital leading to increased revenue, market share, profitability, and better clinical outcomes. Patient satisfaction, patient safety, and clinical outcomes all go together to formulate the patient experience and should not be viewed separately. The author like other hospital nursing administrators plans to focus the care delivery model around the patient experience. The setting for this study is a 49 bed acute care community hospital. A relationship-based care delivery model, incorporating patient centered care and nurse caring will be implemented on a 36 bed medical/surgical unit. Staff on this unit has been delivering standard care based on a biophysical model emphasizing clinical diagnosis and treatment. Patient satisfaction scores have been below goal as have the scores on the HCAPHS survey. Patient satisfaction has become an important indicator of quality care and financial success of healthcare institutions. Hospital administrators are focusing their delivery of medical and surgical services around the patient experience. The importance of nurse caring behaviors and that nurse caring is an important predictor of patient satisfaction needs to be acknowledged (Dingman et aI., 1999). Satisfaction with nurse caring is a measure of organizational effectiveness in creating a caring environment and meeting patient's expectations. Patients' expectations are those responses that are situation specific, influenced by environmental factors, experience, and properties of the situation. Nurse socialization regarding caring behaviors and attitudes and displaying them is needed to have a service-oriented culture. The match between patient expectations of nurse caring and the caring actually received is expressed as patient satisfaction (Greeneich, 1993). No universal definition of caring exists but Watson (1985) defined caring as a fundamental value that guides nurses' ethical decision making and provides a basis for nurse caring actions. Nurses provide direct patient care and spend more time with patients than any other healthcare worker and therefore, need to be concerned about meeting patients' needs in a caring manner. In recent years, the model of patient care shifted from a standardized, one-size-fits-all to a patient-centered approach, with the aim of improving the quality of care (McLaughlin & Kaluzny, 2000). Patient-centeredness goes beyond clinical care and provides the patient with a very personal experience. Scalise (2003) notes the following eight dimensions that encompass a complete patientcentered experience: Access to care, continuity and transition to home, coordination of care, emotional support, information and education, involvement of family and friends, physical comfort, and respect for patient preferences. Patient-centered care has been defined as health care that establishes a partnership among practitioners, patients and their families (when appropriate) to ensure that decisions respect patients' wants, needs and preferences and solicit patients' input on the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care (Kohn, Corrigan & Donaldson, 1999). The Institute of Medicine defined a model of patient-centered health care that includes six criteria for improving the quality of health care in the United States. ..." -- from Introduction.
