Percepción de las enfermeras de UCI en relación al cuidado satisfactorio: convergencias y divergencias con la percepción del paciente crítico / Perception of uci nurses in relation with satisfactory care: convergences and divergences with the perception of critical patients

Objetivo: Explorar las convergencias y divergencias entre la percepción de las enfermeras y los pacientes críticos, en relación a los cuidados satisfactorios proporcionados y recibidos. Métodos: Forma parte de un estudio cualitativo más amplio, según la Teoría Fundamentada. Realizado en 3 Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos con 34 boxes. Muestreo teórico por perfiles con n = 19 pacientes y n = 7 enfermeras tras la saturación de datos. El reclutamiento de pacientes incluidos en los perfiles de edad avanzada y larga estancia se dilató en el tiempo por la baja incidencia de estos. La recogida de datos consistió en: entrevista en profundidad a los pacientes críticos, grupo de discusión de enfermeras expertas en el cuidado al paciente crítico y diario de campo. Análisis temático de Teoría Fundamentada según Strauss y Corbin: codificación abierta, axial y selectiva. Se siguieron los criterios de rigor de Guba y Lincoln, de calidad de Calderón y los de reflexividad ética de Gastaldo y McKeever. Se obtuvo informe favorable del comité de ética del centro y consentimiento informado de los participantes. Resultados: Emergen 4 categorías coincidentes: las competencias profesionales, los cuidados humanos, técnicos y continuados. La combinación de estos elementos producen sentimientos de seguridad, tranquilidad, sentirse persona permitiendo al paciente una relación cercana y de confianza con la enfermera que realiza cuidados individualizados. No se han encontrado categorías divergentes. Conclusiones: Las percepciones de las enfermeras en relación a los cuidados coinciden con las percepciones de los pacientes críticos tanto en la definición como en las dimensiones sobre el cuidado satisfactorio

Objective: Explore convergences and divergences between perception of nurses and of critically ill patients, in relation to the satisfactory care given and received. Methods: It is part of a larger qualitative study, according to the Grounded Theory. Carried out in 3 intensive care units with 34 boxes. Sampling theoretical profiles with n = 19 patients and n = 7 nurses after data saturation. Recruitment of patients included in the profiles of elderly and long-stay got stretched over some time due to the low incidence of cases. Data collection consisted of: in-depth interview to critically ill patients, group discussion of expert nurses in the critical care patient and field diary. Analysis themed on Grounded Theory according Strauss and Corbin: open coding, axial and selective. Analysis followed criteria of Guba and Lincoln rigor, Calderón quality and Gastaldo and McKeever ethical reflexivity. There was a favorable report from the ethical committee of the Hospital and informed consent of the participants. Results: Four matching categories were found: professional skills, human, technical and continued care. Combination of these elements creates feelings of security, calmness and feeling like a person, allowing the patient a close and trusting relationship with the nurse who takes individualized care. Not divergent categories were found. Conclusions: Perceptions of nurses in relation to care match perceptions of critically ill patients in both the definition and dimensions upon satisfactory care

La percepción del paciente crítico sobre los cuidados enfermeros: una aproximación al concepto de satisfacción / Perception of the critical patient on nursing cares: an approach to the concept of satisfaction

Introducción El grado de satisfacción es un indicador fundamental de la calidad asistencial. Existen numerosos instrumentos que miden la satisfacción con los cuidados enfermeros, aunque no responden a la realidad del paciente crítico ni a nuestro contexto. Objetivos Explorar y comprender la satisfacción de los pacientes ingresados en Cuidados Intensivos de un hospital nivel iii con los cuidados enfermeros, para definir e identificar las dimensiones del concepto de satisfacción desde su punto de vista. Material y métodos Estudio cualitativo según la teoría fundamentada en 3 unidades de Cuidados Intensivos de 34 boxes individuales. Muestreo teórico. La muestra, tras la saturación de datos, fue de 19 participantes. La recogida de datos fue a través de la entrevista en profundidad y diario de campo. Análisis de contenido según teoría fundamentada. Se siguieron los criterios de rigor de Guba y Lincoln. Informe favorable del comité de ética del centro y consentimiento informado. Resultados Emergen 4 categorías: definición y dimensiones del concepto de satisfacción, expectativas y vivencias. Los participantes incluyen en su definición de satisfacción las dimensiones: competencias profesionales, cuidados humanos, técnicos y continuados. La combinación de estos elementos produce sentimientos de seguridad, tranquilidad, estar vigilado, sentirse persona, percibiendo una relación cercana y de confianza con la enfermera que realiza cuidados individualizados. Conclusiones La definición y las dimensiones del concepto de satisfacción desde el punto de vista del paciente muestran los aspectos importantes para la persona además de clarificar sus dimensiones, permitiendo la construcción de instrumentos más acordes con el contexto y su percepción real (AU)

Objectives To define and to identify the dimensions of the satisfaction of patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital with nursing cares and to define and identify the dimensions of the concept of satisfaction from their point of view. Material and methods A qualitative research study was conducted according to the Grounded Theory Method in three Intensive Care Units with 34 individual boxes, with theoretical sampling. Nineteen patients remained after data saturation sampling. Data collection was obtained through recorded in-depth interviews and field logbook. Contents analysis was made according to the Grounded Theory. Guba and Lincoln rigor's criteria were followed. There was a favorable report from the Hospital's Ethics Committee and informed consent was obtained from the patients. Results Four categories were found: The definition and dimensions of the satisfaction concept, expectations and life experiences. The participants included the following dimensions in their satisfaction definition: professional competences, human, technical and continuous cares.
