“…(Kalisch et al, 2013). As shown in other studies, it is vital to have a supportive and collaborative work culture, which promotes intraprofessional and interprofessional collaborations (Wei et al, 2020 (Mardis et al, 2016). However, the inclusion of the NA in shift report has yet to become standard practice.…”

Aims: To understand the strategies to influence patient outcomes by synthesizing existing evidence on effective interventions for teamwork, delegation and communication between registered nurses and nursing assistants. Background: Three-quarters of deaths in hospitals are related to breakdowns in teamwork and communication. Acute care systems utilize teams of registered nurses and nursing assistants for primary delivery of nursing care. Research has been conducted to improve the partnership between the dyad. Literature reviews are needed to synthesize the effectiveness of delegation and communication interventions between registered nurses and nursing assistants on patient outcomes. Methods: The authors applied Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methodology to conduct an integrative review of the literature. Databases searched included Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MEDLINE and PubMed along with reference searches. Included articles were intervention studies related to teamwork, delegation or communication between registered nurses and nursing assistants, and published from 2000 to 2019. Methodological quality was assessed utilizing the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model 2.0 was applied as a guiding framework to analyse the findings. Results: Seven articles met the inclusion criteria. The interventions in these articles focused on building a foundation of trust and respect through simulation, education and mindful communication. Four of the seven articles measured patient outcomes including patient falls, hospital-acquired pressure injuries and patient satisfaction. Three articles reported decreased patient falls, two articles reported increased patient satisfaction, while one article reported a reduction in pressure injury. Five of the studies reported improved teamwork and/or communication, and two studies reported improved job satisfaction. Conclusions: There has been limited research on the impact of the registered nursenursing assistant relationship on patient safety and care outcomes. The existing research demonstrates a need for interventions to foster a dynamic and effective relationship between registered nurses and nursing assistants.

“…4,[7][8][9][10] It requires the establishment of a dynamic caring relationship with the patient and family to reduce suffering, and also among nurses themselves and the multi-professional healthcare team. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Although nursing and palliative care share common roots, goals, and values, to advance palliative care nursing practice, it is essential to discern the unique contribution of nursing to the field of palliative care. The goal of palliative care is to prevent and relieve suffering, and to support the best possible quality of life for patients and their families, regardless of the stage of the disease or the need for other therapies.…”

Nursing education on palliative care across Europe: Results and recommendations from the EAPC Taskforce on preparation for practice in palliative care nursing across the EU based on an online-survey and country reports

et al. 2020

Background: Nurses are the largest regulated group of healthcare professionals involved in palliative care. In 2004, a taskforce of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) launched the ‘Guide for development of palliative nurse education in Europe’ (hereinafter, the EAPC 2004 Guide). No systematic evaluation of its impact in the development of palliative care education was undertaken. Aims: To describe current undergraduate and postgraduate nursing education across Europe; to identify the roles that nurses with different palliative care educational levels have in palliative care; and to assess the uptake of the EAPC 2004 Guide in the development of palliative care nursing in Europe. Design: Descriptive research involving an online survey among nursing experts, and the consultation of national representatives. Setting/participants: A total of 135 nurses (52% response rate) from 25 countries completed the online survey; representatives from 16 countries were consulted. Results: In 14 (56%) countries, palliative care was not identified as a mandatory subject within undergraduate nursing education. The EAPC 2004 Guide is widely known and was/is being used in many countries to promote palliative care nursing education. Large variations were found across and within country responses. Conclusions: Palliative care nursing education varies largely in Europe. The wide awareness and use of the EAPC 2004 Guide show how policy measures can influence the development of palliative care education. Recommendations are built and focus on both fostering the use of this guide and implementing policy measures to ensure that palliative care nursing is recognised and certified as a specialty in all European countries.

Background Quality of care is measured by various indicators. Besides objective quantifications, it is necessary to understand the meaning of quality of care from the perspectives of patients, families, and healthcare professionals. Objectives This study aimed to understand parents' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of the quality of care. Methods This was a secondary data analysis of two qualitative studies examining parents' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of caring in 2014 and 2018, respectively. Both studies took place in a children's hospital in the United States. There were 40 participants, 13 parents of children undergoing heart surgery and 27 healthcare professionals. The current study focused on parents' and healthcare professionals' viewpoints about the quality of care. Results Seven themes emerged: patient‐centered care, interprofessional collaboration, team communication, safety and security, trusting relationships, optimal outcomes, and positive patient experiences. The acronym PITSTOP was developed to enable healthcare professionals to recall the elements deemed as important to the quality of care by parents and professionals. Conclusions This study brought up a novice opinion that healthcare should be like a “pitstop,” not just a “repair shop.” Healthcare encounters may be brief but invaluable in helping patients and families succeed in their health promotion.
