Cardiac Surgery Patients’ Evaluation of the Quality of Theatre Nurse Postoperative Follow-Up Visit

Abstract: Theatre nurses at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery in Orebro, Sweden, have since 2001 routinely conducted a follow-up visit to postoperative cardiac patients. A model with a standardized information part and an individual-caring conversation including both a retrospective and a prospective part designed the visit. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of the postoperative follow-up visit conducted by the theatre nurses and find out if the quality was related to gender or type of admissi… Show more

“…However, the theatre nurses in this study would prefer to meet the patient for a preoperative discussion outside the theatre ward. The importance of such encounters in the relationship between nurse and patient, and to be prepared to provide safe patient care, is emphasised in several studies (2–4, 23–25). However, a follow‐up of nursing care provided in accordance with the perioperative model (4) is rarely visible in our study.…”

“…Patient response to perioperative encounters with a theatre nurse was considered positive (23), and a perioperative dialogue creates a common world for the patient and nurse (24). Patients also responded positively to postoperative conversations, especially as they were able to ask questions they had not dared to ask prior to the operation (25). Patients report that it is important during surgery to be treated with respect as an autonomous individual by skilled nurses (26) and their need for guidance by skilled nurses, from being listed for surgery up to the point at which no care related to the operation is required (27).…”

“…23,24 Patients' opinions about care address four dimensions: (1) medicaltechnical competence of the caregivers, (2) the physical-technical conditions of the care organization, (3) the degree of identity-orientation in the attitudes and actions of the caregivers, and (4) the socio-cultural atmosphere of the care organization. Several areas of research [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] have used the QPP questionnaire, and a short version of the QPP has also been developed. 32 In this study, a version of the QPP was modified to include 21 items that suited the intraoperative experience of the patient.…”
