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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To explore, identify and describe the perceptions of family members of a patient admitted to a telemedicine intensive care unit (tele-ICU); and to determine if these needs differ from those established by the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) in the traditional ICU setting. Background: The tele-ICU is a new care modality in which offsite nurses provide consultation to bedside clinical staff at geographically-dispersed ICUs. The last decade demonstrates a growing existence of tele-ICU's in our healthcare culture. 'Information', 'close proximity', 'assurance', 'support' and 'comfort' have been identified as the top five needs of family members in the traditional ICU setting. Yet, we do not know what the family needs are within the tele-ICU context. Significance: The complexity of the tele-ICU adds another dimension to patient-family care, requiring nurses to have appropriate knowledge of family member experiences in order to meet these needs. This study was the first of its kind using face-to-face interviews to focus on the unique perceptions and needs of family members in this new care modality; and a follow-up to the published pilot study by this author. Methods: This was a descriptive study using exploratory inquiry; semi-structured recorded interview method was used with a convenience sample of family-members to assess their experiences, needs, and perceptions while patients received care in a tele-ICU. Conclusion: This study demonstrated significant gaps in communication about the tele-ICU between staff and patients' family. This finding is consistent with the pilot study. Although once informed about the tele-ICU existence and purpose by the investigator, perceptions of the tele-ICU model of care were generally favorable. The fact that 11 of the 16 family-participants interviewed (68.75%) indicated that they had not been informed that the patient was receiving care in a tele-ICU, as well as all 16 (100%) of the respondents never having been introduced to the remote staff, suggests the need for more timely, organized, and proactive communication strategies to inform patients' family members about this novel technology. Improved comprehension of the families' understanding of the role of the tele-ICU in the care of critically ill patient may support their informational needs.

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.
