ObjectiveThe improvement of patient experience (PE) is related to the experience of staff caring for them. Yet there is little evidence as to which interactions matter the most for both patients and staff, or how they are perceived by them. We aimed to summarise the interactions and the perceptions between patients and staff from studies by using both patient and staff experience data in healthcare institutions.DesignScoping review.MethodsWe conducted a scoping review, including studies dealing with PE and staff experience. Two authors independently reviewed each title/abstract and the selected full-text articles. A list of variables (objective, study design, data sources, tools used, results, interactions, perceptions and actions) was charted and summarised using a narrative approach including both qualitative and quantitative data. Studies were grouped according to their objective and the key interactions summarised according to this stratification. The perceptions of patients and staff were identified in the results of selected studies and were classified into four categories: commonalities and disagreements of perceptions, patients’ perceptions not perceived by professionals and professional’s perceptions not perceived by patients.ResultsA total of 42 studies were included. The stratification of studies by type of objective resulted in six groups that allowed to classify the key interactions (n=154) identified in the results of the selected studies. A total of 128 perceptions related to interaction between patient and staff were reported with the following distribution: commonalities (n=35), disagreements (n=18), patients’ perceptions not perceived by professionals (n=47) and professional’s perceptions not perceived by patients (n=28). We separated positive and negative perceptions, which resulted in seven scenarios, each with actions that can be carried out for one or both populations to overcome barriers.ConclusionThe study of both patient and staff experience allowed the identification of actions that can be taken to change the perceptions of patients and staff.

“…Improved patient and staff experiences can be reported in adolescent oncology patients. APNs provide clinical expertise, experience, and continuity in care processes, either within clinical teams or in health-related groups [31]. Advanced Practice Nurse's expertise can be used to manage chronic diseases.…”

Background: Internationally, Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) are associated with improvements when measuring results in health care. Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) refers to an extended nursing care with the aim of meeting the changing conditions in health care systems by providing evidence-based practice. APN outcomes are the endpoints of nursing interventions based on clinical experience, scientific knowledge, and practical skills. Due to the challenges in health care systems, Advanced Practice Nurses have become well established internationally in various fields. Problem: In Austria, the first nurses are currently trained in Advanced Nursing Practice on a master's level according to the International Council of Nurses core curriculum (ICN). However, national implementation and evaluation strategies are still missing. Objective: The aim of this short report is (i) to show the current situation of APNs in Austria, and (ii) to underline the importance of measuring APN outcomes in implementing this role for future developments in health care. Method: A literature search was conducted in CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health), PubMed, and the Cochrane Library in the period 09/2019 to 01/2020. Results: With the help of APNs and coordinated, holistic, patient-centered care, a higher quality of care for different patient groups is clearly evident. The cost-effectiveness and the positive experience of both patients and nursing staff have been demonstrated in international studies. In particular, the guidance and educational skills of APNs have been shown to improve health outcomes in vulnerable population groups. Conclusion: With regard to the implementation of APNs in the health care system, more focus is needed on the measurement of outcomes in nursing research. Outcome research has been shown to help identify the unique effect of APNs in patient care and to highlight the health-related improvements through Advanced Nursing Practice for health policy and further developments in the health care system.
