Impact of Satisfaction, Nurse–Patient Interactions and Perceived Benefits on Health Behaviors Following a Cardiac Event

Abstract

Findings support effects of patient satisfaction and nurse-patient relationships on perceived benefits/barriers. Compared to barriers, perceived benefits more importantly determined health behaviors. Attentive nursing care and the patient's ability to discuss health concerns with nurses appear more influential in modifying patient perceptions. Exploring nursing interventions to maximize perceived benefits during hospitalization is suggested.

A pilot study of an emotional intelligence training intervention for a paediatric team

“…The different outcomes may be attributed to the duration of the intervention (a single passive intervention versus a long-standing engagement of the paediatric staff). Finally, while it is difficult to place a value on patient satisfaction, the magnitude of improvement in patient satisfaction noted above suggests that EI interventions may offer substantial economic utility, particularly to the extent that enhanced satisfaction is associated with reduced risk of malpractice suits,41 better post-discharge compliance by patients42 and enhanced hospital competitiveness 43…”

Does self‐care agency change between hospital admission and discharge? An Orem‐based investigation

“…1992). Reliability was reported 0.91 in prior use (Zrinyi & Horvath 2003), a 0.88 coefficient has been obtained in the current implementation. Ethical and translation procedures were identical to those described above.…”

Access to the World After Myocardial Infarction: Experiences of the Recovery Process

“…The car diac nurse had the ability to make the information accessible to the individual creating satisfaction in the patients. The importance of satisfaction with information and care provided by healthcare professionals has been shown in other studies as association with lower levels of anxiety and perceived benefits of a healthy lifestyle (Davies, 2000;Zrinyi & Horvath, 2003). Ability was also demonstrated through other strategies such as approachability to the cardiac nurse, welcoming attitudes, and sufficient time for patients and spouses.…”
