Book excerpt: "This study examined the problem of lack of congruence between the perceived need of families of critically ill patients for psychosocial support and the psychosocial support critical care nurses perceived the family members to need. It was a Level II descriptive comparative study conducted during the winter of 1987. Subjects were volunteers and included 29 family members and 36 nurses. Family members were contacted by the researcher within seventy-two hours of the patient's admission to the intensive care, coronary care, or the neuro-surgical intensive care units. The nurse subjects were registered nurses working in the same three critical care areas. All subjects completed a modified form of Molter and Leske's Critical Care Family Needs Inventory. Descriptive measures used to examine data included frequency distributions and measures of central tendency. Two tailed t-tests for independent means were used to compare responses of family members and nurses. T-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to examine differences in nurse responses according to selected demographic variables. The study's findings revealed: 1) family members ranked informational needs the highest; 2) nurses ranked honesty and communication needs highest; 3) approximately 44% of the needs were ranked significantly differently when family and nurse samples were compared; 4) one need was ranked significantly differently according to the educational level of the nurse; 5) male nurses ranked 6 needs significantly lower than female nurses; 6) critical care experience affected the nurses' sensitivity and needs rankings; and 7) family members and nurses stated that it was the role of nurses to deal with visiting and bedside needs and physicians should answer questions about care. Implications for practice include: the need for an assessment tool to provide family feedback into the health care system; continuing education for critical care nurses to increase sensitivity and awareness; and improved family orientation to the health care system"--Document.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In health care, family satisfaction has become one of the most important and challenging competitive elements of the industry. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors associated with the Registered Nurse's perception of family satisfaction with services provided during a patient's hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU). Registered Nurses, with critical care experience within the past five years, were asked to rate factors that influenced family satisfaction in the intensive care using the Critical Care Family Satisfaction Survey (CCFSS) developed by Thomas Wasser (2001). Watson's Theory of Human Caring was used as the theoretical framework for this study. Watsons' concept of developing a helping-trusting relationship was considered to be the factors that influence family satisfaction in the intensive care as measured by the CCFSS. Convenience sampling of Registered Nurses employed in one critical care unit was used to obtain participants for the study. Study findings revealed that satisfaction can be measured by family members who determine if their family member received high quality care, regardless of the outcome. Communication had the greatest overall mean score.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Improving quality is an important outcome of care. 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 1988 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant difference between patients' and nurses' perceptions of the stimuli experienced by Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. In addition, it determined if there was a significant relationship between the patients' perceptions of stress and the number of days spent in the ICU, the severity of illness, or whether a patient received an ICU orientation visit. The study was designed as a descriptive survey in which both patients and nurses rated, on a 4 point scale, the intensity of 22 stimuli commonly encountered in the ICU. The subjects were a convenience sample of 20 matched pairs consisting of a patient who had spent at lease 24 hours in the ICU and a nurse who had cared for that patient in the ICU.
