Abstract
Patient experience and team engagement are key performance indicators in organizational strategic planning. Health-care organizations have a seldom-used resource within acute care settings that expands the ability to improve patients' experiences of their care as well as their own team engagement. Environmental services (ES) staff, the second largest health-care workforce, spend an average of 10 min per patient day interacting with patients and families. Few studies highlight how nursing theory may influence patient experience outside of the nursing role. This paper explores how ES staff at a non-profit rural 974-bed academic medical center impacted patient experience using nursing theory to promote a caring environment. Applying Watson's Theory of Human Caring and Caritas Processes© with ES team members beginning at leadership levels increased team engagement and improved patient experience. ES team members benefited from a professional nursing framework and from being integrated as a valued partner in advancing human caring.
改善患者体验和团队参与环境服务:沃森人类关怀理论的应用。
患者体验和团队参与是组织战略规划的关键绩效指标。医疗机构在急症护理环境中拥有一种很少被使用的资源,可以扩展能力,改善患者的护理体验,提高团队参与度。环境服务(ES)人员是医疗机构第二大员工队伍,他们平均每天花 10 分钟与患者和家属互动。很少有研究强调护理理论如何影响护理角色之外的患者体验。本文探讨了一家拥有 974 张床位的非营利性农村学术医疗中心的护理人员如何利用护理理论来促进关爱环境,从而影响患者的就医体验。ES 团队成员从领导层开始应用沃森的人类关怀理论和 Caritas Processes©,提高了团队参与度,改善了患者体验。ES 团队成员受益于专业的护理框架,并在推进人文关怀的过程中成为有价值的合作伙伴。
