  • perceived quality of Nursing care and patient education a cross sectional study of hospitalised Surgical patients in finland
    BMJ Open, 2019
    Co-Authors: Weronica Grondahl, Jouko Katajisto, Hanna Muurinen, Riitta Suhonen, Helena Leinokilpi
    Abstract:

    Objectives This study aims to analyse the relationship between patient education and the quality of Surgical Nursing care as perceived by patients. The background of the study lies in the importance of a patient-centred approach for both patient education and quality evaluation. Design This was a cross-sectional descriptive correlational study with Surgical patients. Setting Data were collected in 2013 in one hospital district in Finland. Participants 480 hospitalised Surgical patients. Methods The data were collected using two structured instruments: one measuring the perceived quality of Nursing care experienced by patients (Good Nursing Care Scale) and one measuring the received knowledge of hospital patients (RKhp). Data were analysed statistically using descriptive and inferential statistics to describe the sample and study variables. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to analyse the association between the scales. Results Surgical hospital patients evaluated the level of the quality of Nursing care as high; this was especially true with reference to the environment and staff characteristics, but not to collaboration with family members. Most (85%) of the patients had received sufficient knowledge preoperatively and they were familiar with the proceeding of their care and treatment after discharge; in particular, they had received bio-physiological knowledge, consisting of knowledge of the disease, symptoms and the physiological elements of care. The positive correlation between the perceived quality of Surgical Nursing care and received knowledge was strong, suggesting a positive relationship between patient education and improvement of the quality of Nursing care. Conclusions Based on the results, the quality of Nursing care and patient education are interconnected. Thus, by improving patient education, the quality of Nursing care can also be improved. It is particularly important to improve collaboration with family members and patients’ own management strategies as well as the multidimensionality of educational knowledge.

  • educational gaps among healthcare providers an institution needs assessment to improve pain management for postSurgical patients
    Journal of opioid management, 2014
    Co-Authors: Marlis Gonzalezfernandez, Hanan Aboumatar, Deena Conti, Amit Patel, Michael A Purvin, Marie N Hanna
    Abstract:

    Objective: Nurses should be educated in pain management because they are more likely than other healthcare professionals to educate patients about their pain. The authors sought to identify the knowledge gaps in postoperative pain management among postSurgical Nursing staff and the existence of institutional policies and educational programs to support them in delivering optimal pain management services. Setting: Academic hospital. Participants: Two hundred seventy-seven registered nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse managers, physician assistants, and other health professionals. Interventions: Nurses participated in an online, anonymous survey that consisted of 43 questions in two broad categories: (1) knowledge and attitudes about pain management and (2) institutional pain management and assessment. Main Outcome Measure: Knowledge base of Surgical Nursing staff regarding postoperative pain management. Results: The overall mean knowledge score was 44.84 percent, with the highest percent of correct answers in the cancer pain category (54.03 percent). Recognition of signs and symptoms of pain had the lowest correct response rate (40.91 percent). Forty-nine percent of respondents reported that pain management protocols tailored to the specific population treated were available, 42 percent reported that patient pain education was always performed, 29 percent reported that they received regular training about pain management, and 17 percent had access to national pain management guidelines. Conclusion: The survey results demonstrate general gaps in pain management knowledge among nurses, particularly in recognizing signs and symptoms of pain. This work may guide the development of programs that improve postoperative pain management by increasing the frequency of nurses' pain education and improving the availability of pain-related policies and protocols.

  • medical Surgical Nursing clinical management for continuity of care
    1997
    Co-Authors: Joyce Black, Esther Matassarinjacobs, Joan Luckmann
    Abstract:

    The edition of this landmark medical-Surgical Nursing text retains the comprehensiveness, authority, and in-depth pathophysiology coverage that made earlier editions so effective. However, the 5th Edition features a significant new emphasis on the continuum of medical-Surgical Nursing--from on-site care through emergency room, intensive, acute, subacute, general, and community care settings. New chapters address essential issues such as aging, acute care, home health care, ambulatory care, and diagnostic testing. Ancillaries include a Study Guide, ExaMaster, Pocket Companion, Instructor's Manual, Test Manual, and Transparencies.
