Abstract

Long-term care homes (LTCHs) were disproportionately affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, creating stressful circumstances for LTCH employees, residents, and their care partners. Team huddles may improve staff outcomes and enable a supportive climate. Nurse practitioners (NPs) have a multifaceted role in LTCHs, including facilitating implementation of new practices. Informed by a community-based participatory approach to research, this mixed-methods study aimed to develop and evaluate a toolkit for implementing NP-led huddles in an LTCH. The toolkit consists of two sections. Section one describes the huddles' purpose and implementation strategies. Section two contains six scripts to guide huddle discussions. Acceptability of the intervention was evaluated using a quantitative measure (Treatment Acceptability Questionnaire) and through qualitative interviews with huddle participants. Descriptive statistics and manifest content analysis were used to analyse quantitative and qualitative data. The project team rated the toolkit as acceptable. Qualitative findings provided evidence on design quality, limitations, and recommendations for future huddles.

长期护理院执业护士会议工具包的开发与评估。

长期护理院(LTCH)受到冠状病毒疾病(COVID-19)大流行的影响不成比例，给LTCH的员工、居民及其护理伙伴带来了压力。团队会议可以改善员工的工作成果，营造一种相互支持的氛围。执业护士(NPs)在长期护理中心中扮演着多方面的角色，包括促进新实践的实施。通过以社区为基础的参与式研究方法，这项混合方法研究旨在开发和评估在LTCH中实施np主导的会议的工具包。该工具包由两个部分组成。第一部分描述了会议的目的和实施策略。第二部分包含六个脚本，用于指导分组讨论。干预的可接受性通过定量测量(治疗可接受性问卷)和对分组参与者的定性访谈来评估。定量和定性数据采用描述性统计和清单含量分析。项目团队将工具包评为可接受的。定性研究结果提供了设计质量、局限性和对未来会议的建议的证据。
