the study aimed to evaluate the impact of implementing a nurse caring behavior (NCB) protocol on postoperative cardiac patient satisfaction.
Full description
Critical care nurses need to comply with caring behaviors when caring for postoperative cardiac patients. Furthermore, patient satisfaction is a key indicator of nursing care quality. As such, this study focused on these critical issues considering the limited research available on the impact of caring behaviors on postoperative cardiac patient satisfaction. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of implementing a nurse caring behavior protocol on postoperative cardiac patient satisfaction. The study was conducted at a cardiac surgery intensive care unit of Alexandria Main University Hospital, Egypt. Sixty adults, conscious cardiac surgery patients, were included during the first 2 days following surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to either a control group, which received routine nursing care, or a protocol group, which received nursing care based on nurse care behaviors protocol through a simple randomization method. One tool was used "Postoperative Cardiac Patient Satisfaction with Nurse Caring Behaviors Evaluation Questionnaire". At the end of the second day, patients were asked regarding their satisfaction with the nursing care received based on caring behaviors. These nursing care included intensive care unit admission and orientation processes, physical care, psychological care, and social interaction between patient and nurse, providing health teaching, and maintaining a safe healing environment.
