The aim of this study is to explore the perspectives of patients, next of kin and healthcare professionals on planning a new end-of-life room in a department of surgery in an acute hospital.
Qualitative study.
Between January and March 2023, 20 individual semi-structured interviews were conducted at the REDACTED. Participants included seven seriously ill and dying patients, three next of a kin and ten health care professionals. The interviews focused on identifying key elements that participants deemed important in an end-of-life room during the final days of life.
Data analysis revealed two main themes: 'Lively physical surroundings' and 'Human and medical competencies' of the health care professionals. The findings highlight a shared understanding among participants of the importance of lively physical surroundings, including aesthetics, connections to nature, appropriate lighting and the creation of a homely atmosphere.
Although patients and next of kin were not involved in the planning of the study due to ethical considerations, nurses working on the ward contributed valuable insights during the study's design. Their input helped ensure the relevance and feasibility of the research in a clinical setting.
COREQ was used as aguideline.
本研究旨在探讨患者、近亲及医护人员对在一家急症医院的外科科室规划一个新的临终关怀病房的看法。
定性研究。
2023年1月至3月期间，在[具体地点]进行了20次个人半结构式访谈。参与者包括7名重症和临终患者、3名近亲以及10名医护人员。访谈重点在于确定参与者认为在生命最后几天的临终关怀病房中重要的关键要素。
数据分析揭示了两个主要主题：医护人员的“充满活力的物理环境”和“人文及医疗能力”。研究结果凸显了参与者对充满活力的物理环境的重要性的共同理解，包括美学、与自然的联系、适宜的照明以及营造家庭般的氛围。
出于伦理考虑，患者和近亲未参与研究规划，但病房护士在研究设计过程中提供了宝贵见解。他们的意见有助于确保研究在临床环境中的相关性和可行性。
采用COREQ作为指导方针。
