Summary
Nurses face barriers to patient-centered care due to poor teamwork, individual challenges, and organizational issues. Addressing these is crucial for improving critical care quality.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Quality
- Patient-Centered Care
Background:
- Patient-centered care (PCC) is essential in critical care settings.
- Understanding barriers to PCC is vital for improving patient outcomes.
- Nurses' perspectives are key to identifying these barriers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nurses' attitudes and experiences regarding barriers to patient-centered care.
- To identify specific challenges faced by nurses in delivering PCC in critical care.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative exploratory design.
- In-depth semi-structured interviews with nurses.
- Thematic analysis to identify key themes.
Main Results:
- Three major themes emerged: lack of common understanding of teamwork, individual barriers, and organizational barriers.
- These themes highlight systemic and personal challenges impacting PCC delivery.
- Findings underscore the complexity of achieving PCC in critical care.
Conclusions:
- Achieving patient-centered care requires more than individual nursing efforts.
- Enhanced team coordination, robust organizational support, and resolution of nursing job issues are critical.
- This study provides insights into improving the quality of care in critical settings.
