Area of Science:

Nursing Practice
Healthcare Management
Patient Care Quality

Background:

Hospitals face increased patient severity, demanding more nursing time.
Routine care is often delayed due to time constraints.
Intentional Rounding (IR) improves patient/staff satisfaction and outcomes (e.g., fewer falls).

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the implementation, practice, and sustainability of Intentional Rounding (IR).
To evaluate IR in diverse healthcare settings: aged care and maternity.

Main Methods:

Descriptive qualitative research design.
Three focus groups conducted with 15 nurses in a metropolitan hospital.

Main Results:

Thematic analysis revealed seven key themes: implementation, practice, roles, context, benefits, barriers, and legal issues.
IR was rapidly adopted; clinicians understood its core concepts.
Benefits included increased patient/staff satisfaction and patient education opportunities.

Conclusions:

Management support and staff engagement are vital for IR sustainability.
IR is adaptable to different patient types and ward environments.
Integrating IR charts into patient records is recommended.
