Adaption, benefit and quality of care associated with primary nursing in an acute inpatient setting: A cross-sectional descriptive study.
Journal of Advanced Nursing 2019 October
AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the adoption of primary nursing and to determine the quality of primary nurse-led care in an acute inpatient setting.
DESIGN: Descriptive cross-sectional study.
METHODS: Participants included inpatients (N = 369) and nurses (N = 381). To assess adoption of primary nursing, patient records were analysed and an online survey of nurses was conducted from May-June 2017. To measure quality of nursing care, a structured questionnaire was administered to inpatients.
RESULTS: Patients reported high quality of individualized, responsive and proficient care, but lower levels of coordinated care. Most nurses agreed that primary nursing is beneficial for person-centred caring. However, only two-thirds found that it was practiced on their unit and only half of care planning activities were attributable to primary nurses.
CONCLUSION: While perceived as beneficial, adoption of primary nursing in clinical practice remains partial. Hence, primary nursing may not be enough to ensure continuity and coordination of acute care.
