- To explore the meanings and interactions influencing care management in KCM.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research using Grounded Theory.
- Data collected through interviews with eight nurses in a NICU.
- Analysis involved open, axial, and selective coding to build a theoretical model.
Main Results:
- Four categories emerged: commitment to KCM, managing KCM complexity, motivation levels, and adherence challenges.
- Nurses' perceptions and experiences significantly shape KCM application.
- Team dynamics and individual values impact KCM continuity.
Conclusions:
- Nurse and team professionals' actions critically influence KCM continuity in NICUs.
- Management strategies should extend beyond training to strengthen KCM.
