Clinical healthcare reform demands high-quality patient care, especially in emergencies. Patient-centred care (PCC) prioritises therapy based on health, characteristics, and needs.
This study examines critical care nurses' views on PCC in a hospital in eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal.
The study was conducted at a selected tertiary care facility in eThekwini district, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
This cross-sectional study examined 119 conveniently selected critical care nurses from five units treating critically ill adult patients in a central tertiary care hospital in eThekwini district, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Personified patient care was measured using the Individualised Care Scale (ICS).
The mean values for nurse-supported customised care ranged from 4.27 ± 0.66 to 4.44 ± 0.61. Fear and anxiety during patient discussions have the highest mean score (4.44 ± 0.61). The mean values for four personal life statements were 4.22 ± 0.72 to 4.29 ± 0.65. Hospitalisation experience was surveyed by 90.8% of people, with a mean score of 4.29 ± 0.61. Patients' desire to understand their illness was surveyed by nurses (91.60%) with a mean score of 4.39 ± 6.39. The majority (94.9%) of nurses encouraged patients to express care preferences, whereas 85.8% were inquired about their preferred bathing time. The majority (59.70%) scored average, while 38.70% high.
Patient-centred care support was average among critical care nurses. Training and education in critical care should emphasise PCC. To strengthen PCC in clinical practice, execute PCC activities regularly.
The study revealed PCC actions and indicated critical care nurses' average support.
临床医疗改革要求提供高质量的患者护理,尤其是在紧急情况下。以患者为中心的护理(PCC)根据患者的健康状况、特征和需求对治疗进行优先排序。
本研究考察了夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省伊泰夸尼市一家医院的重症护理护士对PCC的看法。
该研究在南非夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省伊泰夸尼区一家选定的三级护理机构进行。
这项横断面研究调查了从南非夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省伊泰夸尼区一家中心三级护理医院的五个治疗成年重症患者的科室中方便选取的119名重症护理护士。使用个性化护理量表(ICS)来衡量个性化患者护理。
护士支持的定制护理平均值在4.27±0.66至4.44±0.61之间。患者讨论期间的恐惧和焦虑得分最高(4.44±0.61)。四条个人生活陈述的平均值在4.22±0.72至4.29±0.65之间。90.8%的人对住院经历进行了调查,平均得分4.29±0.61。护士对患者了解自身疾病愿望的调查比例为91.60%,平均得分4.39±6.39。大多数护士(94.9%)鼓励患者表达护理偏好,而85.8%的护士询问了患者偏好的洗澡时间。大多数(59.70%)得分中等,38.70%得分高。
重症护理护士对以患者为中心的护理的支持程度中等。重症护理培训和教育应强调PCC。为在临床实践中加强PCC,应定期开展PCC活动。
该研究揭示了PCC行动,并表明重症护理护士的支持程度中等。
