Effective communication is an important aspect in providing health care. Communications optimize the patient-caregiver relationship and improve patient care and family and caregiver welfare. The main objective of this study was to explore nurses' experience of prognosis-related communication (PRC).
Phenomenological research design was used to do this study. A total of 248 members of the local oncology nursing association were invited to complete this online survey from January 2016 to March 2016. Then, focus groups were held to discuss and improve themes derived from the analysis of online written responses. Five focus groups were performed, each consisting of 6 to 8 participants. No new data were generated by the fifth focus group and data saturation was achieved. NVivo 11 was used to manage data and facilitate the development of themes.
The participants were almost female, with a mean nursing experience of 13 years and almost 8 years of working experience in oncology ward. Three themes were extracted following data analysis, namely the importance of collaboration, impact of PRC, and communication of prognostic information. One hundred and fifty nurses (60%) reported that they received no formal training or education about PRC.
There is a need to improve the knowledge and attitude of physician toward engaging nurses in the process of PRC.
有效的沟通是提供医疗保健的一个重要方面。沟通可以优化医患关系,改善患者护理以及患者家属和护理人员的福利。本研究的主要目的是探讨护士在预后相关沟通(PRC)方面的经验。
本研究采用现象学研究设计。 2016 年 1 月至 2016 年 3 月,共邀请当地肿瘤护理协会的 248 名成员完成这项在线调查。然后,举行焦点小组讨论,以讨论和改进从在线书面答复分析中得出的主题。共进行了 5 次焦点小组讨论,每次讨论由 6 到 8 名参与者组成。第 5 次焦点小组没有产生新数据,达到了数据饱和。使用 NVivo 11 来管理数据并促进主题的发展。
参与者几乎都是女性,平均护理经验为 13 年,在肿瘤病房的工作经验平均为 8 年。经过数据分析,得出了三个主题,分别是协作的重要性、预后相关沟通的影响以及预后信息的沟通。有 150 名护士(60%)报告说,他们没有接受过关于 PRC 的正式培训或教育。
需要提高医生在预后相关沟通方面与护士合作的知识和态度。
