This study explores inpatients' experiences of ward rounds. Eight patients on an acute admissions ward were interviewed using a semi-structured interview. Data was analysed using content analysis. The findings showed satisfaction with the ward-round process, but participants identified issues that could be improved upon, with some expressing feelings of fear and intimidation. A number of participants referred to decisions about their treatment being made before attendance and no participant expressed feeling part of the decision-making process. Despite study limitations it was concluded that some interesting themes were identified, which could be usefully explored in future studies.
本研究探讨了住院患者的查房体验。对急性入院病房的8名患者进行了半结构化访谈。采用内容分析法对数据进行分析。结果显示患者对查房过程感到满意，但参与者指出了一些可以改进的问题，一些人表达了恐惧和 intimidation 的感觉。许多参与者提到在他们就诊之前就已经做出了关于他们治疗的决定，并且没有参与者表示自己是决策过程的一部分。尽管存在研究局限性，但得出的结论是，确定了一些有趣的主题，可在未来的研究中进行有益的探讨。 （注：“intimidation”直译为“恐吓”，结合语境这里可能是指查房带来的一些压迫感等类似意思，但因要求不能添加解释，所以保留英文）
