Nurse Satisfaction and Creation of an Admission, Discharge, and Teaching Nurse Position

Abstract

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of a newly developed nurse admission, discharge, and teaching position on nurse satisfaction and the quality of the admission and discharge process. A pretest-posttest design was used to collect data on nurse satisfaction, workload, and medication reconciliation. Study results supported the use of an admission, discharge, and teaching nurse to improve nurse satisfaction and the quality of the admission and discharge process.

Educação do paciente sobre regime terapêutico medicamentoso no processo de alta hospitalar: uma revisão integrativa

“…Estudos sugerem a necessidade de um PA padronizado (5,25,36) para maior eficácia e qualidade do cuidado, com o intuito de garantir a continuidade do cuidado domiciliar (12,33) , a fim de proporcionar aos pacientes informações e recursos necessários para melhorar ou manter a saúde, prevenir EAM e evitar reinternações (26,36) . Nesse processo, deve-se dar ênfase ao PA individualizado a partir da admissão do paciente, envolvendo toda equipe de saúde (15,17,36) .…”

“…Pesquisas baseadas em evidências sobre educação do paciente e PA são limitadas na literatura (17) , apesar de o PA ser uma exigência da Joint Commission aos hospitais, especialmente no que tange à utilização de medicamentos (18) .…”

Early Completion of the Discharge Risk Screen by Nurses in Acute Care Wards

Improving Efficiency, Consistency and Satisfaction on a Mother-Baby Unit With the Discharge Nurse Position

“…Lane, Jackson, Odom, Cannella, and Hinshaw (), in looking at an admission and discharge nurse team (ADT) state that, “Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these job positions on nurse satisfaction and patient outcomes is unknown because the ­literature on the topic is primarily ­anecdotal or descriptive in nature” (p. 148). Lane et al () found ­difficulty accessing evidence‐based ­articles on utilizing an ADT to facilitate time‐consuming processes such as admissions and discharges. Lane et al's () study findings suggest decreased nurse workload, increased nurse satisfaction with the ADT and supports the use of this position.…”
