RESUMO
Introducción: cuando un individuo es hospitalizado en UCI para control y monitorización permanente de su salud, su cuidado está orientado específicamente a la asistencia plena de médicos y personal de enfermería. La complejidad de estos cuidados genera una crisis situacional y emocional en la familia que causa ansiedad, estrés, miedo y duda. La forma en la que el enfermero intervenga con el familiar en situaciones críticas es lo que va a determinar la percepción de los mismos hacia el cuidado de enfermería, en tanto la comunicación y el apoyo emocional forma parte de la competencia profesional y contribuye al cuidado holístico del paciente y familia. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción de los familiares de pacientes, respecto a la comunicación que le brinda el profesional de enfermería en la unidad de cuidados críticos. Materiales y método: Se realizó un estudio de tipo cuantitativo, descriptivo y de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 40 familiares adultos responsables del paciente hospitalizado en la unidad de terapia intensiva, durante los meses Junio - septiembre del 2023. El instrumento de recolección de información fue un cuestionario de "Percepción de los familiares de los Pacientes Críticos, respecto a la intervención de Enfermería durante su Crisis Situacional"; el mismo fue utilizado y validado por la autora Franco Canales Rosa aplicado en el Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati, Abril de 2003. Resultados:Los resultados muestran que la percepción global de los familiares, es favorable, respecto a la comunicación verbal, comunicación no verbal y el apoyo emocional[AU]
Introduction: health is the condition in which every living being enjoys absolute well-being both physically and mentally and socially, when it is affected either by a pathology or by general accidents; Given the physical condition of the individual, he or she is often hospitalized in the ICU for permanent control and monitoring. Your care is specifically oriented towards the full assistance of Doctors and Nurses. The complexity of this care generates a situational and emotional crisis in the immediate family that causes anxiety, stress, fear and doubt. The way in which the nurse supports the family member in critical or distressing situations is what will determine the perception of the family members towards the nurses, since communication and emotional support are part of the professional competence and contribute to the holistic care of the patient. patient and family. It is a care that is reflected in the feeling that the nurses have that when they do it, the families are very grateful and that, without a doubt, it is their job. Objective: Determine the perception of the patient's relatives regarding the communication provided by the nursing professional in the critical care unit of a private institution. Materials and Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample was made up of 40 adult relatives responsible for the patient hospitalized in the Adult intensive care unit, during the months of June - September 2023. The information collection instrument was a questionnaire on "Perception of relatives of Critical Patients, regarding to Nursing intervention during their Situational Crisis"; It was used and validated by the author Franco Canales Rosa applied at the Edgardo Rebagliati National Hospital, April 2003. Results:The results show that the overall perception of family members is favorable, regarding verbal communication, non-verbal communication and emotional support[AU]

RESUMO
AIM: To critically evaluate missed care measurement approaches and their application in long-term aged care (LTAC) settings. DESIGN: Systematic review using Tawfik's guideline. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL and ProQuest were searched. Supplemental searching was from reference lists of retrieved records, first authors' ORCID homepages and Google advanced search for grey literature. Search limitations were English language, published between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2022. REVIEW METHOD: COVIDENCE was utilized for screening, data extraction and quality appraisal. JBI Critical Appraisal Tools and COSMIN Risk of Bias Tool were used for quality appraisal. Data were summarized and synthesized using narrative analysis. RESULTS: Twenty-four publications across 11 regions were included, with two principal methods of missed care measurement: modified standard scales and tailored specific approaches. They were applied inconsistently and generated diverse measurement outcomes. There were challenges even with the most commonly used tool, the BERNCA-NH, including absence of high-quality verification through comparative analysis against an established 'gold standard', reliance on self-administration, incomplete assessment of constructs and inadequate exploration of psychometric properties. CONCLUSION: Globally, there are deficiencies in the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of the instruments measuring missed care in LTAC settings. Further research on theoretical and practical perspectives is required. IMPLICATIONS: Findings highlighted a critical need to establish a standardized, validated approach to measure missed care in LTAC settings. This review calls for collaborative efforts by researchers, clinical staff and policymakers to develop and implement evidence-based practices as a way of safeguarding the well-being of older clients living in LTAC settings. IMPACT: Measurements of missed care in LTAC settings rely on adapting acute care tools. There is a critical gap in measuring missed care in LTAC settings. Developing a new tool could improve care quality and safety in LTAC settings globally. REPORTING METHOD: Adhered to PRISMA guideline. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Missed nursing care is a global challenge that can have many consequences and it's known as a common threat to the patient safety and quality of nursing care. The nurses' professional commitment plays the final role in the occurrence of this issue. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nurses' professional commitment and missed nursing care in Iran. MATERIALS & METHODS: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 270 nurses working in two hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences (Sina & Shariati) from September to December 2023. The research community included all nurses working in medical-surgical wards in the designated hospitals. The research samples were included in a targeted and quota method after obtaining organizational permits, ethical approval and informed consent. Data collection was done using three questionnaires including demographic information form, Nursing Professional Commitment Scale, and MISSCARE Questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS software, version 25. RESULTS: The results of Pearson's correlation test showed that there is a significant negative relationship between nurses' professional commitment and missed nursing care scores (r=-0.23) (p < 0.001). The mean score of nurses' professional commitment was reported at a moderate to high level (83.72 ± 16.02) and the mean score of missed nursing care was reported at a low level (47.84 ± 16.48). Nurses over 40 years old, morning shift and employed nurses showed higher professional commitment. Also, nurses under 29 years old and male nurses had more missed nursing care other than their participants. No relationship was observed between other demographic variables with nurses' professional commitment and missed nursing care. CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that higher nurses' professional commitment leads to higher quality of care and less missed nursing care. Based on findings of this research, it is recommended for health care providers and nursing managers to adopt programs to increase nurses' professional commitment and consequently reduce missed nursing care.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study investigates the relationship between burnout levels of moral distress and missed nursing care in pediatric nurses. DESIGN AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November and December 2023. Pediatric nurses working in two hospitals and providing direct care to children (n = 140) completed the Moral Distress Scale-Revised Pediatric Nurses, MISSCARE Survey - Pediatric Version and Burnout Measure-Short Version questionnaire. Multivariate regression analysis modeling was applied to test the mediating effect on the relationship between burnout, moral distress, and missed nursing care. RESULTS: There was a significant positive correlation between the Moral Distress Scale-Revised Pediatric Nurses and its sub-dimensions and the Burnout Measure-Short Version (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the mean MISSCARE- Survey-Ped score of the nurses participating in the study and its sub-dimensions and Burnout Measure-Short Version (p < 0.05). Providing Benefit-Do No Harm, one of the Moral Distress Scale-Revised Pediatric Nurses sub-dimensions, and Labour Resources, one of the MISSCARE sub-dimensions, were found to be predictors of burnout. The ethical principle of Providing Benefit-Do No Harm was found to mediate between moral distress and burnout and reduce burnout associated with missed care. CONCLUSIONS: Accordingly, as the nurses' moral distress and inability to meet the necessary patient care increase, their burnout levels also increase. Providing Benefit-Do No Harm is an basic ethical principle that will positively affect the burnout level of pediatric nurses. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This study may provide insights into ethics training, communication improvement strategies, and individual support intervention programs aimed at reducing moral distress, and burnout and improving the coping mechanisms of nurses working in pediatric wards.
RESUMO
RATIONALE AND KEY POINTS: Nutrition is a fundamental aspect of nursing care, however older people cared for in hospital, in a care home or in their own home do not always receive adequate support with their nutritional needs, which can leave them at risk of malnutrition. Using a holistic, biopsychosocial framework to support a comprehensive nutritional assessment that includes malnutrition screening can support the nurse to identify the older person's nutritional status and nutrition needs. Nurses undertaking this procedure must ensure they have the knowledge and skills to do so and work within the limits of their competence. ⢠Malnutrition in older people can lead to a decline in functional ability, reduced muscle strength, fatigue, impaired immunity, suboptimal wound healing, increased risk of infection and increased risk of falls. ⢠Screening for, and assessing the risk of, malnutrition is an important part of nursing assessments in any healthcare setting. ⢠A holistic nutritional assessment should incorporate physiological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, social and cultural elements. REFLECTIVE ACTIVITY: ' How to' articles can help to update your practice and ensure it remains evidence based. Apply this article to your practice. Reflect on and write a short account of: ⢠How this article might improve your practice when undertaking a holistic nutritional assessment with an older person. ⢠How you could use this information to educate nursing students or your colleagues on the appropriate techniques and evidence base for undertaking a holistic nutritional assessment with an older person.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Intellectual disability liaison nurses in general hospitals could enhance access to high-quality, adapted healthcare and improve outcomes. We aimed to explore associations between the input of intellectual disability liaison nurses and the quality of care in people with intellectual disability who are admitted to hospital. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of a national dataset of mortality reviews. SETTING: General hospitals in England. PARTICIPANTS: 4742 adults with intellectual disability who died in hospital between 2016 and 2021 and whose deaths were reviewed as part of the Learning from Lives and Deaths mortality review programme. OUTCOME MEASURES: We used logistic regression to compare the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of those who did, and did not, receive input from an intellectual disability liaison nurse. We explored associations between liaison nurse input, care processes and overall quality of care. RESULTS: One-third of people with intellectual disability who died in hospital in England between 2016 and 2021 had input from an intellectual disability liaison nurse. Intellectual disability liaison nurse input was not evenly distributed across England and was more common in those who died of cancer. Having an intellectual disability liaison nurse involved in an individual's care was associated with increased likelihood of reasonable adjustments being made to care (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.95, 95% CI 1.63 to 2.32) and of best practice being identified (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.60) but was not associated with a rating of overall quality of care received (aOR 0.94, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.12). CONCLUSIONS: Intellectual disability liaison nurses see only a minority of people with intellectual disability who are admitted to hospital in England. Increasing the availability of intellectual disability liaison nurses could improve care for this disadvantaged group.

INTRODUCTION: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of early childhood home-visiting interventions led by nurses have been conducted mainly in Western countries, whereas such trials have been limited in non-Western cultures, including Asia. In South Korea, a national nurse home visit programme (Korea Early Childhood Home-visiting Intervention (KECHI)) was developed in 2020 and launched throughout the country. We designed a pragmatic RCT to evaluate the effectiveness of KECHI on child health and development and maternal health. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Eligible participants will be pregnant women at <37 weeks of gestation with risk factor scores of 2 or over, who are sufficiently fluent in Korean to read and answer the questionnaire written in Korean and live in districts where the KECHI services are available. Eight hundred participants will be recruited from the general community and through the District Public Health Centres. The participants will be randomised 1:1 to KECHI plus usual care or usual care. KECHI encompasses 25-29 home visits, group activities and community service linkage. Participants will complete assessments at baseline (<37 weeks gestation), 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months post partum. The six primary outcomes will be (1) home environment (assessed by Infant/Toddler Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment), (2) emergency department visits due to injuries, (3) child development (assessed using Korean Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III), (4) breastfeeding duration, (5) maternal self-rated health and (6) community service linkage. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This trial has received full ethical approval from the Institutional Review Board of the Seoul National University Hospital. Written consent will be obtained from the participants. The results will be reported at conferences, disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and used by the Korean government to expand the KECHI services. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04749888.

BACKGROUND: Current demographic changes bear challenges for national care systems due to higher life expectancy of older citizens. Largely cut off from society, nursing home residents are at risk for violence, neglect, and other potential human rights violations. This study aimed to investigate healthcare vulnerabilities in nursing homes and evaluate the Austrian National Preventive Mechanism (NPM). METHODS: Between 2017 and 2019, 55 monitoring visits were conducted in 32 nursing homes. Study outcomes from two Austrian provinces included data on infrastructure, occupancy, staffing, resident's demographics and medical conditions, as well as measures related to the functioning of the NPM. RESULTS: Accessibility with mobility aids was sufficient in 87%, but assistance for persons with visual or hearing impairments solely in 20-40% of the institutions. An understaffing with nursing assistants (-5.2 full-time equivalents in Carinthia) and home helpers (-1.6 in Carinthia and Styria) was present. Less than 20% of the personnel received advanced training related to dementia and neuropsychiatric care. While 50% of the residents were diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, approximately 36% received support from an appointed legal guardian. Of the monitoring visits 58.1% were conducted due to anonymous complaints and urgent referrals. The median processing times of the NPM and the provincial governments exceeded 250 days. CONCLUSION: Human rights monitoring reveals critical aspects in nursing home care, including insufficient accessibility, understaffing and inadequate training. Although the authorities' handling times hinder prompt responses, the NPM may foster systemic improvements and accountability within nursing homes.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Family engagement in care has been advocated to promote recovery for patients with mental health conditions. Attitudes of mental health nurses toward the importance of families influence the way they partner with families in mental healthcare. However, little is known about how mental health nurses engage with families and quality of family-centered care (FCC) perceived by patients and caregivers. The study aimed to examine the mediating effect of family nursing practice on the association between mental health nurses' attitudes toward integrating families into care and quality of FCC perceived by patients with schizophrenia and caregivers. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was conducted. METHODS: A convenience sample of 143 dyads of patients with schizophrenia and their caregivers and 109 mental health nurses were recruited from inpatient wards at two psychiatric hospitals in Taiwan. Demographic and clinical questionnaires, Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes scale, Family Nursing Practice Scale, and Measure of Process of Care for Adults were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, paired-sample t-tests, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Mediation analyses were performed using Hayes' PROCESS macro in SPSS (Model 4) with bootstrapping. RESULTS: Mental health nurses exhibited supportive attitudes toward integrating families into care (Mean = 98.96) and greater perceptions of family nursing practice (Mean = 2.44). The concordances between patients and caregivers on perceived quality of family-centered care were significant (ICC = 0.63-0.77). Attitudes of mental health nurses toward integrating families into care had both the total and direct effects on all domains of quality of FCC perceived by patients and caregivers, respectively. The indirect effects of mental health nurses' attitudes toward integrating families into care on aspects of quality of FCC through family nursing practice were significant for patients (95% bias-corrected bootstrap CI of 0.015-0.053) and caregivers (95% bias-corrected bootstrap CI of 0.004-0.041). The magnitude of the indirect effects was medium to large for patients (ES = 0.209-0.257) and caregivers (ES = 0.148-0.221). CONCLUSION: Family nursing practice partially mediated the association between mental health nurses' attitudes toward integrating families into care and aspects of quality of FCC from perspectives of patients and caregivers. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Interventions tailoring mental health nurses' practice skills and reciprocity with families have the potential to enhance supportive attitudes of mental health nurses toward working with families and further improve perceived quality of FCC in patient-caregiver dyads in mental healthcare practice.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Over the last two decades, the use of robotic surgery in cardiac procedures has become increasingly prevalent. Typically, assessments of patient outcomes for robot-assisted surgery concentrate on patient morbidity and mortality, surgical complications, and length of hospital stay. However, there is limited research on patients' perceptions of robot-assisted surgery. Therefore, this study aims to determine the experiences of patients undergoing robot-assisted cardiac surgery. DESIGN: The study used a qualitative design. METHODS: The study was conducted with 12 patients who underwent robot-assisted heart surgery at an educational and research hospital. Ethical approval and written informed consent were obtained before the study. FINDINGS: 66.7% of the participants were male with an average age of 38.25 ± 16.06 years. The analysis of qualitative data identified three themes: Robotic surgery, Post-Surgical Experience, and Homecoming. CONCLUSIONS: Patients expressed satisfaction with robotic surgery and recommended it to others undergoing surgery. Based on the findings, we may suggest that nurses may conduct personalized education programs about robotic surgery and develop programs to follow up with patients at home.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To study nurses' perceptions of patient handoffs in tertiary care hospitals in Kelantan, Malaysia, and to identify predictors of these perceptions. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Three tertiary care hospitals in Kelantan, Malaysia, February-March 2023. PARTICIPANTS: The study's inclusion criteria were nurses who were Malaysian citizens, working in shifts and possessing a minimum of 6 months of work experience. Nurses holding administrative positions and those unavailable during the study period were excluded from participation. A stratified proportionate random sampling method was employed, and a 100% response rate was achieved, with all 418 selected nurses participating in the study. OUTCOME MEASURES: Nurses' perceptions of patient handoffs were assessed using the validated Hospital Patient Handoff Questionnaire. Predictors of these perceptions were identified through multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: The study revealed an overall positive perception of handoffs, with a mean score of 3.5 on a 1-5 scale. Receiving formal in-service training on handoff practices (regression coefficient 0.089, 95% CI: 0.016 to 0.161) and expressing satisfaction with the handoff process (regression coefficient 0.330, 95% CI: 0.234 to 0.425) were positively associated with nurses' perceptions. Working in the paediatric department was associated with a lower perception of handoffs (regression coefficient -0.124, 95% CI: -0.195 to -0.053). CONCLUSIONS: Formal in-service training, satisfaction and working in the paediatric department were significantly associated with nurses' perceptions of patient handoffs in Kelantan. These findings suggest the need for tailored interventions to improve handoff processes and enhance patient safety. Further research could explore the effectiveness of specific training programmes targeting these identified predictors.

INTRODUCTION: Due to the increasing number of persons with dementia, the need for family and professional support is growing. Counselling services aim to support family dementia caregivers and the use of information and communication technology may improve accessibility to counselling. The effectiveness of technology-based counselling in dementia remains unclear so far. Few randomised controlled trials have been conducted assessing heterogeneous outcomes. Theoretical underpinnings for the development and evaluation of these complex interventions were lacking in most cases. We therefore aim to formulate an initial programme theory of a technology-assisted counselling intervention for family dementia caregivers and to create the data basis for the consensus process of a core outcome set. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The methodological approaches for developing a programme theory and a core outcome set will be integrated. In a scoping review, data on the characteristics, theoretical foundations of counselling interventions and outcomes of clinical studies will be collected. The lifeworld perception of relevant stakeholders on the importance of counselling in family caregiving will be explored in a phenomenological substudy using semistructured interviews. The synthesis of data from the literature review and the qualitative substudy will be performed by developing a logic model. Mechanisms of action and assumed causal relationships are explicated in the elements of programme theory (theory of change, outcomes chain and theory of action). An initial programme theory is then formulated. In addition, a 'long list' of outcomes and assessment instruments will be compiled. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The ethics committee of the Medical Faculty of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg approved the study protocol (no. 2023-093).Findings will be reported to participants and the funding organisation and disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and at national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The ProCOS (Development and evaluation of a technology-assissted counselling intervention for family caregivers of persons with dementia - Programme theory and preparation of a core outcome set) project is registered with the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials initiative (https://www.comet-initiative.org/Studies/Details/2884).

This review examines recent advancements in interventional treatments and nursing care for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), highlighting significant innovations and their clinical applications. It discusses the transition to novel anticoagulants such as Direct Oral Anticoagulants, which offer a safer profile and simplified management compared to traditional therapies. Mechanical interventions, including balloon angioplasty and venous stenting, are detailed for their roles in improving immediate and long-term vascular function in acute DVT cases. Furthermore, the use of image-guided techniques is presented as essential for enhancing the accuracy and safety of DVT interventions. Additionally, this study outlines advances in nursing care strategies, emphasizing comprehensive preoperative and postoperative evaluations to optimize patient outcomes. These evaluations facilitate tailored treatment plans, crucial for managing the complex needs of DVT patients. Long-term care strategies are also discussed, with a focus on patient education to ensure adherence to treatment protocols and to prevent recurrence. The synthesis aims to inform healthcare professionals about cutting-edge practices in DVT management, promoting a deeper understanding of how these advancements can be integrated into clinical practice. It also underscores the necessity for ongoing research to address challenges such as cost-effectiveness and patient compliance, ensuring that future treatments are both accessible and effective.
RESUMO
Background: Bladder cancer ranks seventh in global cancer prevalence. Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion are standard for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Family caregivers shoulder a substantial care burden, affecting their own quality of life, with repercussions extending to patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Objective: This narrative review aims to highlight the major concerns perceived by the caregivers and efficacy of nurse-led interventions in alleviating their concerns and improving HRQOL. Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed, CINAHL, and Science Direct databases was carried out to identify studies published in the last 5 years (from Jan 2018 to Aug 2023) that have evaluated the concerns and problems of caregivers attending bladder cancer patients with urinary diversion. Additionally, studies evaluating the efficacy of nurse-led interventions in alleviating these concerns were also searched. Results: Overall, 6 studies involving 933 BC patients with UD and 1042 caregivers were identified as suitable for inclusion in this narrative literature review. Major concerns identified included psychological well-being, medical assistance needs, and peer support. Significant psychological impact was evident in the caregivers which operated in a dyadic manner. Nurse-led stoma education programs have demonstrated potential in enhancing caregivers' quality of life, although they remain restricted. Conclusion: Emphasizing caregivers' role and program effectiveness is critical. Our review addresses these gaps, focusing on caregivers' concerns and the impact of nursing education for improved patient outcomes. Implications for Practice: Holistic and collaborative approach could enhance the overall well-being and quality of life of bladder cancer patients and their caregivers.
RESUMO
AIM: To assess patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care and the relationship between patients' characteristics and their level of satisfaction. DESIGN: A descriptive correlational cross-sectional design was used in this study. METHODS: Convenient sampling was utilized to include 1014 inpatients from six hospitals in Jordan: three private hospitals; two governmental hospitals; and one university-affiliated hospital. The data collection process occurred from September 2022 to January 2023. The data were collected using the Arabic version of the Patients' Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire. The data were analysed using Pearson correlation, t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple hierarchal regression. RESULTS: The study included 1014 patients with an average age of 51.3 (SD = 18.6), and 59.9% were females. More than two thirds of the sample reported having health insurance, and 62.7% were unemployed. The mean total score of patients' satisfaction with nursing care quality (NCQ) was 68.2 (SD = 12.9), indicating high satisfaction. Higher-income levels (p < 0.001), higher education levels (p = 0.003), having health insurance (p < 0.001), being admitted to private hospitals (p < 0.001), being admitted to critical care units (p = 0.002), being in a single room (p = 0.001), excellent perceived health status (p < 0.001) and willingness to recommend the hospital to family and friends (p < 0.001) were significant predictors of patients' satisfaction with NCQ. CONCLUSIONS: Patient and hospital environment characteristics affected patients' satisfaction with NCQ. Hospital management should consider these characteristics to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Policymakers and hospital management should consider improving the physical environment of their facilities to improve patients' satisfaction. Continuous professional development should emphasize nurses' communication skills to enhance their abilities to deliver information to their patients. IMPACT: This study examined levels and predictors of patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care. The results indicated that improving patients' satisfaction can be achieved by focusing on areas of nurses' communication skills and explaining information to patients. REPORTING METHOD: The study adhered to STORBE guidelines for reporting observational studies. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Hospitalized patients contributed to the data of this study. Hospital administrators facilitated its implementation.
