Patients value basic nursing care, such as pain management and heel protection, significantly impacting their recovery. Understanding patient perspectives is crucial for improving orthopaedic care outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Nursing
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Orthopaedic admissions present unique challenges for patient recovery.
  • Assessing care outcomes solely from a professional viewpoint may overlook critical patient experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore patient-reported outcomes following orthopaedic admission.
  • To identify specific nursing interventions that positively or negatively influence patient experiences.
  • To highlight areas for improvement in nursing care from the patient's perspective.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study design was employed.
  • Data were collected through audio-taped focus groups with patients.
  • Transcripts were analyzed to identify key themes related to care experiences.

Main Results:

  • Five nursing activities significantly improved patient outcomes: patient-controlled analgesia, heel protection (water-filled gloves, cream application), pre-admission surgical explanation, and in-hospital treatment information.
  • Three nursing activities were perceived to negatively impact outcomes.
  • Seven non-nursing activities were identified as potential improvements from the patient's viewpoint.

Conclusions:

  • Basic nursing care elements are highly valued by orthopaedic patients.
  • Incorporating the patient's perspective in outcome measurement enhances the understanding of care quality.
  • Findings underscore the importance of patient-centered care in orthopaedic settings.
