Purpose
This descriptive study aimed to identify the effects of purposeful and timely nursing rounds on patients' perception of the quality of nursing services and nurses' perception of nursing rounds. Methods Intentional nursing rounds were conducted by communicating patients’ questions on pain, position, pump, potty, and possessions. A total of 144 nurses and 149 patients participated, and data were collected using self-report questionnaires. The independent t-test, x 2 test, and Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test were used to analyze the data with SPSS version 24.0. Results Although intentional nursing rounds improved the nurses’ perception of nursing rounds, there was no significant difference. The nurses’ benefit had the lowest score (3.36), and the benefit of communication with patients had the highest score (3.79). Intentional nursing rounds significantly improved the patients’ perception of the quality of nursing services in the intervention group. Among the factors of empathy (Z=4.98, p<.001) related to the quality of nursing services as perceived by the patient, assurance (Z=5.50, p<.001), reliability (Z=4.43, p<.001), and responsiveness (Z=5.02, p<.001) significantly increased. Conclusion Intentional nursing rounds positively affected patients’ perception of the quality of nursing service. It is important to improve intentional nursing rounds to enhance nurses’ perceptions of them. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
Purpose
This study aimed to compare the value congruence of nurse-patient assignment (NPA) with work performance in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: Data were collected with 30-items on factors that affect NPA and 17-items on work performance. Two questionnaire surveys each were conducted with 79 nurses from the NICU. The difference between expectations and actual experience on NPA were analyzed, and the effects of NPA on work performance and overtimes were investigated. The collected data were analyzed with a paired t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients using the SPSS software version 20.0. Results: The NPA criteria were surveyed with 30 items, with 13 patient-related, and 17 nurse-related. The validity of the tool was S-CVI .95 and the reliability (Cronbach’s ⍺) was .942. There were significant differences based on age (F=3.69, p=.029) and caring for patients on an artificial ventilator (t=2.55, p=.013). The higher the patient-related actual assignment score, the higher the nurse-related actual assignment score (r=.68, p<.001) and work performance (r=.48, p<.001). As the nurse-related actual assignment score increased, work performance also increased significantly (r=.36, p=.001). Conclusion: It was confirmed that the value congruence of NPA is positively correlated with work performance. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by
