A Survey of the Nursing Activities Performed by Nursing Staffs in Long-term care Hospitals

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to identify the importance, performance and rates of nurses' performance of nursing interventions in long-term care hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was used and data were collected in 2015. Participants were 174 clinical nurses working in 14 long-term care hospitals. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: The nurses' perceived importance of nursing interventions was 4.48±0.51, and the degree of nursing intervention performance in long-term care hospitals was 3.97±1.07 out of 5. The rates of nursing interventions performed by nurses ranged from 33.9% to 99.4% with an average of 82.5%. There were statistically significant positive correlations among perceived importance, performance in hospitals, and rates for nurses' performance of nursing interventions (p<.001). Conclusion: The results indicate that interventions with a high degree of importance and performance could be the core nursing interventions in long-term care hospitals. These core nursing interventions should be included in education for nurses. These findings can be used in developing realistic guidelines and effective strategies for nurses and administrators to improve the quality of nursing and the status of nursing professionals in long-term care hospitals.

“…However, it was slightly lower than that of long-term care hospitals, which was 6.02 points [ 10 ]. Nurses in long-term care hospitals are more likely to be supervising nursing assistants rather than performing direct care [ 32 ]; as they may perceive that they are doing important work, they may have a relatively high professional self-concept. Influencing factors for RNs’ professional self-concept were the self, role, and context [ 33 ]; the self is the RN who enacts the role in nursing practice, whilst the context refers to the clinical setting.…”

Perceived safety culture and nursing work environment are considered important prerequisites for a patient safety activity. Patient safety is also associated with person-centered care; however, few studies apply the person-centered care framework which includes staff attributes and care environment. This study aimed to examine the canonical correlations of person-centered care factors, including professional self-concept, patient safety culture, nursing work environment, and patient safety activities of nurses working in small–medium-sized hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was used. Participants included 171 nurses from seven small–medium-sized hospitals in Busan metropolitan city, in Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and canonical correlations. Two significant canonical variates were found. First, better professional self-concept, a positive patient safety culture, and better nursing work environment were associated with better patient safety care activities. Second, a negative patient safety culture and healthy nursing work environment were associated with a lack of communication between medical staff. Person-centered framework factors such as staff attributes and care environment were positively associated with patient safety activities. Based on the results, nurses in small–medium-sized hospitals should be highly aware of their professional self-concept. Moreover, nurses should be equipped with psychological safety and a healthy work environment to enhance patient safety activities.

“…Registered nurses identify nursing diagnoses, organise care plans, communicate with patients and evaluate patients’ overall outcomes: skills requiring critical thinking and professional knowledge (Paquay et al . , Kim & Jeong ). Unlicensed nursing personnel mostly assist in direct nursing care, such as vital signs, range of mobility, feeding and bathing (Kleinman & Saccomano ).…”

“…Through successful delegation, registered nurses (RNs) concentrate on complicated nursing tasks (Stonehouse 2015) and focus on reviewing charts, monitoring significant medical changes, and teaching patients (Standing & Anthony 2008). Registered nurses identify nursing diagnoses, organise care plans, communicate with patients and evaluate patients' overall outcomes: skills requiring critical thinking and professional knowledge (Paquay et al 2007, Kim & Jeong 2014. Unlicensed nursing personnel mostly assist in direct nursing care, such as vital signs, range of mobility, feeding and bathing (Kleinman & Saccomano 2006).…”
