Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Patient Care
  • Psychological Well-being

Background:

  • Intensive care unit (ICU) to general ward patient transfers often induce significant anxiety.
  • This anxiety negatively impacts patient recovery, well-being, and increases readmission risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a 'Nurse-led Transfer Programme with Patient Relatives' on anxiety and hemodynamic parameters.
  • Focus on patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery (CVS) during ICU to general ward transfer.

Main Methods:

  • A monocentric, non-randomized quasi-experimental study involving 150 CVS-ICU patients.
  • Anxiety assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I); vital signs recorded before and after transfer.
  • Intervention: Nurse-led transfer with patient relative involvement.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed significantly lower state anxiety scores pre- and post-transfer compared to the control group (p < 0.001).
  • The program significantly reduced anxiety levels, even after controlling for baseline anxiety and ICU stay duration.
  • While vital signs improved within groups, between-group differences were not clinically substantial.

Conclusions:

  • The Nurse-led Transfer Programme with patient relatives effectively reduces patient anxiety during and after ICU to ward transfer.
  • Involving relatives in transfers eases anxiety and improves patient transitions, supporting holistic care.
  • This program can be integrated into discharge protocols to enhance outcomes and continuity of care.
