    Summary

    Restricted visiting hours on acute wards for older people are not evidence-based. This project explored alternative strategies to improve patient care by involving staff and translating evidence into practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Nursing
    • Healthcare Management
    • Evidence-Based Practice

    Background:

    • Visiting policies on acute wards for older people (HCOP) often restrict access.
    • There is a lack of evidence supporting the benefits of restricted visiting hours.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore evidence-based alternatives to restricted visiting hours on HCOP wards.
    • To improve the care and well-being of older patients on acute wards.

    Main Methods:

    • A small-scale project utilizing a systematic and inclusive approach.
    • Involvement of staff at all levels in exploring alternative visiting strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Restricted visiting times were found to lack an evidence base.
