Summary
This review explores nursing interventions using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the intensive care unit (ICU). While interventions varied, many showed positive effects, highlighting nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Critical Care Medicine
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background:
- Intensive care unit (ICU) nursing interventions require evaluation for content and effectiveness.
- Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) offer valuable insights into patient experiences and needs within the ICU.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review nursing interventions in the ICU that utilize PROMs.
- To analyze the theoretical frameworks, content, and effectiveness of these interventions.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review and narrative synthesis was conducted.
- Searches were performed across multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SweMed, CENTRAL).
- Two independent reviewers managed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment.
Main Results:
- Twenty-two studies were included in the review.
- Only seven studies incorporated a theoretical framework.
- Interventions demonstrated heterogeneity in content, duration, and PROM selection.
- Outcomes aligned with essential nursing functions, focusing on patient and family needs.
- Several studies reported positive intervention effects, emphasizing communication and psychosocial care.
Conclusions:
- Nursing interventions in the ICU utilizing PROMs are diverse.
- Positive intervention effects were noted, particularly those involving communication and psychosocial support.
- Further research could benefit from stronger theoretical underpinnings in intervention design.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.

Nursing Assessment:Nursing management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves taking the patient's history, focusing on primary complaints such as chest pain, dyspnea, and excessive sweating (diaphoresis), as well as other symptoms like back or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. The nurse also reviews the patient's history of cardiac events, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history, and current medications.In the objective assessment,...

Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
