Abstract:
Person-centered coaching provided by clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) is an effective, acceptable, and feasible evidence-based intervention. Psychosocial distress experienced by older adults and their families during transitions of care can contribute to adverse events. CNS coaching demonstrated increased self-reported preparedness for healthcare transitions and knowledge-of-care options. CNS coaching promoted engagement and self-efficacy. Nurse administrators can incorporate this intervention in a variety of care settings to improve outcomes related to transitions of care.
