Perceptions of followership among nurses: A qualitative study 护士对追随者的看法:定性研究
IF 3.1 Q1 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100222

Background

Followership is defined as the role individuals play in supporting, contributing to, and realizing the vision and directives set by their leaders. Such a role is indispensable in healthcare, facilitating effective team dynamics and healthcare delivery. Within the nursing field, it encompasses nurses' active engagement and participation in healthcare delivery, ensuring safety, fostering teamwork, and enhancing patient outcomes. Despite its significance, the exploration of followership within the nursing context of Saudi Arabia remains limited.

Objective

This study aims to explore how followership is perceived and practiced by nurses in this unique cultural and professional setting, and its implications for healthcare delivery.

Methods

We conducted a qualitative inquiry involving seven registered nurses working in hospitals affiliated with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and a thematic analysis was utilized to extract key findings.

Results

Our thematic analysis identified four main themes and several sub-themes that encapsulate the participants' perspectives on followership. The themes include: (1) Understanding of followership, where a predominant lack of clarity about the concept was observed, often conflating it with teamwork; (2) Followers' involvement in decision-making, highlighting the limited participation of nurses in decision-making processes due to hierarchical and autocratic leadership structures; (3) Barriers to followership, which encompassed issues such as poor leadership, the undervaluation of the follower role, lack of training and development opportunities, challenges in collaboration, and language barriers; and (4) Facilitators of followership, identified as effective leadership, followership training, communication skills, positive relationships, respect, collaboration, understanding of roles, commitment, and flexibility. These findings elucidate the complex landscape of followership within the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia, revealing both the challenges and pathways to fostering effective followership in healthcare settings.

Conclusion and Implications

This study reveals a widespread lack of awareness about followership among nurses in Saudi Arabia, highlighting significant challenges related to hierarchy and the undervaluation of the follower role in nursing practice and education. It underscores the need for educational and training interventions that redefine and elevate the role of followership in clinical settings to enhance collaboration, assertiveness, and decision-making skills. Moreover, the study advocates for the re-evaluation of leadership practices to better acknowledge and value followership, promoting a more flattened hierarchy that encourages active participation in patient care and organizational development.

The Challenges Experienced by ICU Nurses in Kuwait during the COVID-19 Pandemic 科威特 ICU 护士在 COVID-19 大流行期间经历的挑战
IF 3.1 Q1 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100226

Background

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems worldwide, with intensive care unit (ICU) nurses at the forefront of patient care. To date, there is limited evidence into ICU nurses'experiences of the pandemic in Kuwait.

Research question/aims/objectives

To elucidate the challenges faced by ICU nurses in Kuwait during the pandemic, by considering two research questions: “What contributed to intensified pressure for the ICU nurses?” and “How were the nurses affected?”.

Research design

This was a qualitative study which utilised semi-structured interviews. Interviews were conducted between January 2021 and June 2022 with ICU nurses who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data were analysed using Charmaz's grounded theory methodology.

Participants and research context

25 nurses from three ICUs in Kuwait.

Ethical considerations

The study was approved by the University Ethics Committee and by the Ministry of Health in Kuwait.

Findings/Results

The analysis identified two themes (the factors contributing to intensified pressure in the ICU, and the impact on the nurses) and seven sub-themes. The pressure in the ICU intensified due to the rise in the number of patients, staff shortages, and the requirement to adhere to unrealistic new procedures for infection control. Restricted and cancelled leave, as well as impaired autonomy at work, impeded the nurses’ ability to recover from stress. The heightened stress also contributed to a worsening in interpersonal relationships between the nurses and their colleagues. The nurses’ care was compromised by these challenges, leading to moral distress and a range of mental health symptoms (e.g., stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion).

Conclusions

The study accords with other research conducted during the pandemic in revealing a significant mental health toll among healthcare workers during the pandemic. The stressors were similar to those which have been reported in other studies, although there were also context-specific effects relating to the environment of the ICU and the Kuwaiti context.

研究背景冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行给全球医疗保健系统带来了前所未有的挑战,重症监护病房(ICU)的护士处于病人护理的最前沿。研究问题/目的/目标通过考虑两个研究问题,阐明科威特重症监护室护士在大流行期间所面临的挑战:"研究设计这是一项采用半结构式访谈的定性研究。访谈在 2021 年 1 月至 2022 年 6 月期间进行,对象是在 COVID-19 大流行期间工作的 ICU 护士。研究结果/结果分析确定了两个主题(导致重症监护室压力加剧的因素和对护士的影响)和七个次主题。由于病人数量增加、人手短缺以及必须遵守不切实际的感染控制新程序,重症监护室的压力加剧。休假受限和取消,以及工作自主权受损,都阻碍了护士从压力中恢复过来。压力增大还导致护士与同事之间的人际关系恶化。护士们的护理工作受到了这些挑战的影响,导致了精神痛苦和一系列心理健康症状(如压力、焦虑、情感衰竭)。压力源与其他研究中报告的压力源相似,但也有与重症监护室环境和科威特国情有关的特定环境影响。

Under pressure - Nursing staff's perspectives on working hours and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study 压力之下 - 护理人员对 COVID-19 大流行期间工作时间和恢复的看法:定性研究
IF 3.1 Q1 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100225

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to increased pressure on healthcare systems. During periods when the demands exceed the capacity of healthcare organizations, adaptive strategies are used to meet these demands. During the COVID-19 pandemic, working hours for nursing staff were reorganized and extended. This has posed challenges for recovery, which may be a key factor for maintaining health and safety under such conditions.

Objectives

The aim of the study was to bring insights into how nursing staff perceived their working hours and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic, and if they experienced any changes in their sleep and well-being.

Design

A qualitative descriptive design was chosen, as it is suitable for gaining insight into perceptions and experiences.

Methods

Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted using an interview guide. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Sixteen registered nurses and six certified nursing assistants from four Swedish hospitals participated in the study.

Results

The organization of working hours during the COVID-19 pandemic was considered suboptimal and resulted in more demanding working hours and poor recovery. Nursing staff experienced loss of control as they lost influence over working hours, working hours became more unpredictable and the boundaries between work and leisure became blurred. Nursing staff also experienced a decline in their health and well-being, including extreme fatigue, impaired sleep and physical/mental changes.

Conclusion

The strategies used by healthcare organizations to meet increasing demands during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to impaired recovery and well-being of nursing staff, which could generate negative feedback loops contributing to depletion of resources at the organizational level.

背景COVID-19 大流行加剧了医疗保健系统的压力。在需求超出医疗机构能力的时期,医疗机构会采取适应性策略来满足这些需求。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,护理人员的工作时间被重新安排并延长。本研究旨在了解护理人员在 COVID-19 大流行期间是如何看待其工作时间和恢复的,以及他们在睡眠和健康方面是否经历了任何变化。本研究选择了定性描述设计,因为这种设计适用于深入了解感知和经验。采用主题分析法对访谈进行分析。来自瑞典四家医院的 16 名注册护士和 6 名注册护理助理参与了研究。结果在 COVID-19 大流行期间,工作时间的安排被认为是不理想的,导致工作时间更长,恢复效果不佳。护理人员失去了对工作时间的控制,工作时间变得更加难以预测,工作与休闲之间的界限变得模糊。护理人员的健康和幸福感也有所下降,包括极度疲劳、睡眠质量下降和身体/精神状况发生变化。

Designing an interoperable patient portal to augment an Advanced Nurse Practitioner service for Children with hydrocephalus 设计可互操作的患者门户网站,加强针对脑积水儿童的高级护士服务
IF 3.1 Q1 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100223

Background

Children's Health Ireland (CHI), who govern and operate acute paediatric services for the greater Dublin area, are also the client for the new children's hospital project which will be Ireland's first fully digital hospital. Design, development and implementation of digital solutions has been prioritised by the National Strategy for Children's Nursing to transform and accelerate nurse-led services.

Aim

The aim of this phase of a larger study was to explore the perspectives and opinions of key stakeholders on the requirements, benefits, and challenges for a bespoke patient portal, with a specific focus on the ANP-led Neurosurgical Service and children and young people with hydrocephalus.

Methods

Interviews and focus groups were held online, and data were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Twenty-three participants across eight sites were interviewed including parents, healthcare professionals, experts and management/administrators. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework.

Results

Four key findings and considerations were identified in relation to patient portals in general and their interoperability with Electronic Health Records, as well as a bespoke patient portal for children and young people with hydrocephalus

Conclusions

The availability of a patient portal for children and young people with hydrocephalus would be hugely advantageous to their parents, the ANP led nursing service, and healthcare professionals in both the neurosurgical service at CHI and at regional healthcare organisations as well as for administration, research, and reports. More timely access to health data as well as a consistent log of information and communications between patients and healthcare professionals, would be more efficient and effective than current practices.The augmented ANP-led Neurosurgical Nursing Service at CHI will act as a pilot project from which other nurse-led digital patient services can learn from.

Study Registration

This study was conducted between September 2022 and June 2023. It was registered in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Background

Nurses are tasked with addressing the health impacts of climate change. Eco-nursing competencies, covering knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to climate change, equip nurses to actively mitigate and adapt to its effects on health and the environment.

Objective

To synthesize existing literature on eco-nursing roles and competencies for nurses.

Methods

A scoping review of published papers examined nurses' roles and eco-nursing competencies. Databases searched included Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Plus, MEDLINE (PubMed), and Google Scholar. Search terms encompassed climate change and nursing synonyms, limited to English articles up to April 15, 2023. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize findings, delineating roles, and eco-nursing competencies. Results were tabulated.

Results

Out of 445 papers identified, 31 underwent data analysis. These papers highlighted nurses' roles in climate change (42%), along with climate change knowledge and skills (64.5%), and attitudes (13%). Roles encompassed research, education, advocacy, leadership, and clinical practice, with corresponding competencies embedded within existing core competencies for general nurses, nurse specialists, and nurse managers.

Conclusion

The review demonstrates that nurses' roles in climate change necessitate relevant knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Future research should contextualize these roles and eco-nursing competencies based on geographical locations, considering the distinct disease burden in each area.

Registration

The study protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework on 5 March 2023 before conducting the full study https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/9GC4N

Tweetable abstract

Amidst growing concerns about climate change, nurses are increasingly tasked with preparing to mitigate its health impacts through the delineation of eco-nursing competencies. These competencies will equip nurses to effectively tackle the health and environmental ramifications of climate change, building upon existing core competencies tailored to various geographic contexts.

The meaning of being conscious during surgery with local or regional anesthesia–A phenomenological hermeneutic study 局部或区域麻醉手术中意识清醒的意义--现象学诠释学研究
IF 3.1 Q1 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100224

Background

With increasing prevalence of surgery under local or regional anesthesia, which allows patients to remain conscious during the intraoperative phase, there is a growing need to comprehend the lived experiences associated with this practice.

Objective

This study aimed to illuminate the lived experiences of individuals who remained conscious during surgical intervention under local or regional anesthesia.

Design

A qualitative design was chosen.

Setting(s)

Participants in the present study were recruited from three surgical wards located in central Sweden using a purposive sampling strategy. The surgical disciplines included ear, gynecological, hernioplasty, orthopedic, and vessel surgeries.

Participants

Fourteen narrative interviews were conducted with individuals who had undergone elective surgery while conscious.

Methods

Verbatim transcribed text was analyzed using a phenomenological-hermeneutic method.

Results

The lived experience of being conscious during surgery was marked by feelings of hope alongside a sense of losing one's identity and experiencing destabilization. Structural analysis revealed two themes. The first theme, 'being in the hands of others', encompassed subthemes such as 'entering an unfamiliar environment and procedure,' 'losing foothold and a sense of self-identity,' and 'enduring unexpected or anticipated discomfort.' The second theme, 'managing the inevitable for future health concerns,' involved subthemes such as 'pursuing self-acceptance of the situation,' 'entrusting the professionals while seeking signs of a smooth procedure,' and 'Enhancing own resilience through continuous support.

Conclusions

Beyond the patient's physical well-being during surgery, the OR team should acknowledge the "person" component and focus on their emotional and social needs in this vulnerable situation. The four meta-paradigms of nursing—person, health, environment, and nursing—significantly influence the conscious patient's experience.

Background

Falls amongst the elderly represent a global public health challenge because of their potential to cause illness, death, and reduce the autonomy of this group. They also impact the emotional, family, social and economic well-being of those involved. Various strategies to prevent falls have been reported in the literature, focusing mainly on addressing individual risk factors, and on the continuous assessment of the risk of falls in older people.

Objective

This study evaluated user satisfaction and acceptability of a comprehensive model, implemented in the community, to prevent falls amongst independent older adults aged 65 years and above. It sought to capture both the perceptions of the individuals who received the intervention and of the interventionists who implemented it. The study protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov in November 2020 (ID: NCT04313062).

Design

Qualitative, exploratory study using a case study design. The evaluation of the intervention followed the recommendations proposed by the Medical Research Council for complex interventions. Methods and participants: In the period between April 2021 to April 2022, 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted with independent older adults between 65 and 80 years of age who participated in the implementation of the comprehensive model in Santiago, Chile. Data were also collected with eight interventionists through: three semi-structured interviews at the beginning of the intervention; and two focus groups with seven interventionists at the end of the implementation of the model. The team members undertook a content analysis of the data collected.

Results

Three themes emerged to account for the satisfaction and acceptability of the intervention with the model on the part of the participants and interventionists: (1) Previous experience of older persons and interventionists; (2) The older person-interventionist encounter and its context; and (3) Identification of facilitators, strengths and challenges for the implementation of the model. The results show a positive assessment of the model, highlighting the value of the social contact derived from the intervention by both participants and interventionists. Although the model involved an individual intervention, the participants’ accounts indicate that it reached out to others, including family members and other elderly acquaintances. Moreover, the interventionists helped identify challenges in implementation and made recommendations to strengthen the model.

Conclusion

The evaluation of satisfaction and feasibility of implementing the model showed positive results that will nurture the next phase of development of this model, which involves scaling up the intervention.

背景老年人跌倒是一项全球性的公共卫生挑战,因为老年人跌倒可能导致疾病和死亡,并降低这一群体的自理能力。此外,跌倒还会影响相关人员的情绪、家庭、社会和经济福祉。文献报道了各种预防跌倒的策略,主要集中在解决个人风险因素和对老年人跌倒风险的持续评估上。这项研究评估了用户对在社区实施的综合模式的满意度和可接受性,以预防 65 岁及以上独立老年人跌倒。研究旨在了解接受干预者和实施干预者的看法。该研究方案已于 2020 年 11 月在 ClinicalTrials.gov 上注册(ID:NCT04313062)。干预评估遵循医学研究委员会针对复杂干预提出的建议。方法和参与者:在 2021 年 4 月至 2022 年 4 月期间,对参与在智利圣地亚哥实施综合模式的 65 至 80 岁独立老年人进行了 11 次半结构化访谈。此外,还通过以下方式收集了 8 名干预人员的数据:在干预开始时进行 3 次半结构式访谈;在模式实施结束时与 7 名干预人员进行 2 次焦点小组讨论。小组成员对收集到的数据进行了内容分析。结果在解释参与者和干预者对该模式干预的满意度和可接受性时,出现了三个主题:(1)老年人和干预者以前的经验;(2)老年人与干预者的接触及其背景;以及(3)确定实施该模式的促进因素、优势和挑战。结果显示,参与者和干预者都对该模式给予了积极评价,强调了从干预中获得的社会接触的价值。虽然该模式涉及个人干预,但参与者的叙述表明,该模式接触到了其他人,包括家庭成员和其他老年熟人。此外,干预人员帮助确定了实施过程中的挑战,并提出了加强该模式的建议。结论对实施该模式的满意度和可行性进行的评估显示出积极的结果,这将促进该模式下一阶段的发展,即扩大干预规模。

Background

Learning basic mental health care competence is often challenging for the bachelor of science student nurses, and many lack basic mental health care competence to ensure safe and confident mental health care practice. Mental health assessment is an integrated part of this competence.

Objective

The objective of this study was to explore and describe in depth how student nurses experience learning and achieving basic mental health competence while on mental health placement with the support of a learning tool.

Design

An explorative and descriptive qualitative design was conducted to gain insight on how student nurses experienced learning basic mental health competence when on placement.

Setting

A diversity of mental health placement settings in which student nurses were involved with patient care or welfare were approached; general psychiatric wards (n = 2), psychiatric ward for elderly people (n = 1), community mental health in-patient facilities (n = 2) and unconventional placements in the community (n = 9). Unconventional placements are a diversity of non-clinical service contexts.

Participants

The participants comprised student nurses in their 3rd and final year while on mental health placement. Potential participants received information from course coordinators, the online learning platform, and from teachers in plenary. Using purposive sampling, 14 student nurses were recruited.

Methods

Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted online and in person at two campuses of one university in Norway between August 2020 and December 2021. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed as described by Braun and Clarke.

Results

Students expressed insecurity in a new clinical context. They engaged in new learning situations and realized the diversity of nursing practice. Unconventional placements were described as challenging contexts for learning basic mental health care competence.

Conclusions

This qualitative study provided insight into how student nurses experience learning mental health assessment, and gaining relational, communicative, and ethical competence while on placement. Students revealed their insecurities and challenges in learning in a new context. Awareness of clinical learning opportunities on placement when preparing student nurses to learn basic mental health competence may help improve their confidence.

背景学习基本的心理健康护理能力对于理科本科生护士来说往往具有挑战性,许多人缺乏基本的心理健康护理能力,以确保安全和自信的心理健康护理实践。本研究的目的是深入探讨和描述学生护士在心理健康实习期间,在学习工具的支持下,如何体验学习和实现基本心理健康能力。设计采用探索性和描述性定性设计,深入了解学生护士在实习期间如何体验学习基本心理健康能力。环境接触了护士学生参与病人护理或福利的各种心理健康实习环境:普通精神病病房(n = 2)、老年人精神病病房(n = 1)、社区心理健康住院设施(n = 2)和社区非常规实习(n = 9)。非常规实习是指非临床服务环境的多样性。参与者参与者包括在精神健康实习中的三年级和最后一年的护士学生。潜在参与者从课程协调员、在线学习平台和教师全体会议上获得信息。2020 年 8 月至 2021 年 12 月期间,在挪威一所大学的两个校区进行了个人半结构式访谈。按照布劳恩和克拉克的描述,对访谈进行了转录和主题分析。结果学生们表示在新的临床环境中缺乏安全感。他们参与了新的学习环境,并认识到护理实践的多样性。这项定性研究深入探讨了护士学生在实习期间如何学习心理健康评估,以及如何获得人际关系、沟通和道德能力。学生们揭示了他们在新环境中学习的不安全感和挑战。在培养护士学生学习基本心理健康能力时,认识到实习期间的临床学习机会可能有助于提高他们的自信心。

Bi-lingual content validation of the Non-Technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses (NOTSORN) tool: A Delphi study 手术室护士非技术技能(NOTSORN)工具的双语内容验证:德尔菲研究
IF 3.1 Q1 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-06-20 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100218

Background

The primary responsibility of the operating room nurse is to prevent adverse events and patient harm during surgery. Since most preventable adverse events are the result of breakdowns in communication and teamwork, or non-technical skills, training such skills should strengthen the operating room nurses’ error prevention abilities. Behavioural marker systems operationalise non-technical skills; however, previous systems for operating room nurses do not cover the full extent of non-technical skills used by operating room nurses. Thus, the Non-technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses (NOTSORN) behavioural marker system was developed.

Objective

The objective of this study was to establish face and content validity of the Non-Technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses behavioural marker system. This multi-item scale measures individual non-technical skills in operating room nursing.

Participants

A purposive sample of operating room nursing researchers, educators, and senior clinicians from nine countries worldwide.

Methods

A two round, Delphi panel with international experts in operating room nursing. The survey was administered online. Content validity index (CVI) was used to measure agreement among panel members.

Results

25 operating room nurse experts participated in the online Delphi study. After round 1, 56 items were accepted, 26 items were revised, and 1 item was dropped. Following round 2, all items (6 with minor revisions) were accepted. Thus, the Non-technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses tool comprise 81 items. The scale level CVI score for the final 81 item tool was 0.99. The individual item level CVI scores ranged from 0.9 to 1.0.

Conclusions

The Non-Technical Skills of Operating Room Nurses behavioural marker system is a nuanced tool with a myriad of non-technical skills operating room nurses need to undertake their work safely. The tool's intended use includes student/trainee supervision, supervision of novice operating room nurses, self-reflection for performance reports, and in operating room nursing education. Over time, use of the tool has the potential to contribute to patient safety in the operating room.

Tweetable abstract

The NOTSORN tool provides a comprehensive and holistic evaluation of OR nurses' non-technical skills for safe surgical performance

背景手术室护士的主要职责是在手术过程中预防不良事件和对病人的伤害。由于大多数可预防的不良事件都是由于沟通和团队合作的中断或非技术性技能造成的,因此对此类技能的培训应加强手术室护士的防错能力。行为标记系统将非技术性技能可操作化;然而,以往针对手术室护士的系统并未涵盖手术室护士使用的全部非技术性技能。因此,我们开发了手术室护士非技术技能(NOTSORN)行为标记系统。目标本研究的目标是建立手术室护士非技术技能行为标记系统的表面效度和内容效度。参与人员来自全球九个国家的手术室护理研究人员、教育工作者和高级临床医师。方法由手术室护理领域的国际专家组成两轮德尔菲小组。调查采用在线方式进行。结果 25 位手术室护理专家参与了在线德尔菲研究。第 1 轮后,56 个项目被接受,26 个项目被修改,1 个项目被放弃。第二轮后,所有项目(6 个项目略有修改)均被接受。因此,手术室护士非技术技能工具由 81 个项目组成。最终 81 个条目工具的量表级 CVI 得分为 0.99。结论手术室护士非技术技能行为标记系统是一个细致入微的工具,包含了手术室护士安全开展工作所需的大量非技术技能。该工具的预期用途包括学生/受训者督导、手术室护士新手督导、绩效报告的自我反思以及手术室护理教育。随着时间的推移,该工具的使用有可能促进手术室的患者安全。Tweetable 摘要NOTSORN 工具对手术室护士的非技术技能进行了全面综合的评估,以保证手术的安全进行。

Background

In the lower-middle-income country of Kazakhstan, palliative care services are in the early stages of integration into healthcare services. No prior studies have investigated associations between palliative care service factors and a good death in lower-middle-income countries, nor explored how palliative care nurses contribute to a good death. In this paper, a good death is referred to as the control of pain and symptoms, clear decision-making, a sense of closure, being recognized and perceived as an individual, preparation for death, and still being able to contribute to others, all taken together.

Objectives

To identify new opportunities for palliative care service nurses by investigating associations between palliative care service factors and a good death, as measured by the Good Death Inventory.

Methods

Family caretakers of deceased patients from palliative care units and hospices were surveyed across six different regions of Kazakhstan. Data collected included demographics for patients and caregivers, palliative care service data, and Good Death Inventory items. Poisson regression analysis with r variance and linear regressions were conducted to identify determinants for achieving a Good Death and for the 18 Good Death Inventory domains.

Results

Two hundred and eleven family caregivers participated in the survey. Bivariate analysis revealed five statistically significant associations (p ≤ 0.05) with the outcome of a good death. In multivariate linear regression analyses, a palliative care duration of greater-than-6-months, compared to less-than-1-month, was associated with improvements in 10 out of 18 domains of the Good Death Inventory (p ≤ 0.05). More-than-once-weekly palliative care home visits by nurses, compared to no visits, were also associated with improvements in four domains (p ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion

We provide new directions for improvements in palliative care services in low-middle-income countries, giving impetus for resource allocation to palliative care home visits by nurses for achieving a good death for greater numbers of patients.

背景在哈萨克斯坦这个中低收入国家,姑息关怀服务正处于融入医疗服务的早期阶段。在中低收入国家,此前没有研究调查过姑息关怀服务因素与美好死亡之间的关联,也没有探讨过姑息关怀护士如何为美好死亡做出贡献。本文将 "美好死亡 "定义为:疼痛和症状得到控制、决策清晰、有结束感、作为个体得到认可和感知、为死亡做好准备,以及仍能为他人做出贡献,所有这些加在一起。收集的数据包括患者和照护者的人口统计数据、姑息关怀服务数据以及 "美好死亡量表 "项目。我们进行了r方差泊松回归分析和线性回归分析,以确定实现 "美好死亡 "的决定因素和 "美好死亡清单 "的18个领域。双变量分析表明,良好死亡结果与五项因素有显著的统计学关联(P ≤ 0.05)。在多变量线性回归分析中,姑息关怀持续时间超过6个月与少于1个月相比,与 "美好死亡量表 "18个领域中10个领域的改善相关(p≤0.05)。结论我们为改善中低收入国家的姑息关怀服务提供了新的方向,为护士进行姑息关怀家访分配资源提供了动力,以帮助更多患者实现美好死亡。
