Summary
This study evaluates a co-designed intervention to improve aged care communication. Findings will inform future development of experience-based co-design (EBCD) in healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare communication research
- Patient and public involvement in research
- Aged care service improvement
Background:
- Experience-based co-design (EBCD) involves stakeholders to create healthcare solutions.
- Limited evidence exists on the impact mechanisms of co-design in healthcare.
Purpose of the Study:
- Assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a co-designed intervention for aged care communication.
- Understand the role of co-design and contextual factors in intervention impact.
Main Methods:
- A cluster randomised controlled trial with a nested process evaluation.
- Data collection via surveys, interviews, focus groups, field notes, observations, and secondary sources.
- Engagement of aged care recipients, families, care workers, managers, and healthcare professionals as co-designers and participants.
Main Results:
- Evaluation findings will compare co-design experiences against a theoretical model of change.
- The RE-AIM framework will organize the impact of co-design and contextual factors.
Conclusions:
- Nested process evaluations are crucial for advancing co-design methodology in healthcare.
- Continued research is needed to support the development and resourcing of co-design approaches.

01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...
01:08Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:
01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:15Nursing Implementation
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.
