“…According to obtaining complete history from the patients, it was observed that, the majority of the studied nurses failed to obtain completed preoperative health history. Similar result was reported in the study of Adugbire, Aziato & Dedey [21] who revealed that, most nurses in their study could not take comprehensive preoperative health history from their patients. This result contradicted with Hardy [22] who emphasized on the importance of taking patient's history accurately and efficiently by the nurse pre eye surgery.…”

Background: Nowadays, intraocular surgery is widely performed and the ophthalmic nurse is the backbone of the eye care. Any deficiency in providing adequate nursing care pre or post eye surgery can lead to serious complications. The study aimed to: Evaluate the effect of implementing the nursing guideline on nurses' performance regarding patients undergoing cataract or glaucoma surgery. Method: Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study. Sample: A convenience sample of 36 nurses working at Ophthalmology Mansoura Hospital was included in this study. Tools: Data were collected using two tools, first tool was pre/post structured questionnaire sheet, and it included two parts; part 1-included socio demographic characteristics of the studied nurses and part 2-included nurses' knowledge regarding the care provided to patients with cataract or glaucoma surgery. Second tool was pre/post observa tion checklist for nurses' practice pre, and post surgery. Results: Post implementing the guideline; there were high statistical significant differences in nurses' knowledge, preoperative practice, and postoperative practice (p<0.001) and a statistical significant relation was fou nd between nurses' educational level with their knowledge, preoperative practice, and postoperative practice (p=0.044, 0.050, 0.048 respectively). Conclusion:Applying the designed nursing guideline is effective in improving nurses' knowledge, and practice regarding the care provided to patients with cataract or glaucoma surgery. Recommendation: It is recommended to; develop a specialized orientation program for the newly appointed nurses, provide the nurses with continuous training courses, set restrict supervision on nurses' application for infection control precautions, and encourage them to become involved in research studies.

“…Patient and Family Centered Care thus allows nurses to render care that is tailored to their needs and thus improves patient recovery, leading to nurses' satisfaction with the care rendered. Through following the processes of PFCC nurses are able to identify the individuality of the patient, their unique needs and preferences, and use this information for the development of a patient centered care plan that is bene cial to the recovery process and resultant increased satisfaction to nurses [20,21,22,23,24,19].…”

Background The purpose of the study was to explore the views of nurses on the concept of patient- and family-centered care (PFCC) and its practices in a peri-operative context in Northern Ghanaian hospitals Methods The study, using a qualitative explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was conducted at six selected hospitals located in the Northern part of Ghana. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants for individual and focus group interviews. Data were generated between March and May 2022. Data saturation was reached with 27 participants comprising 15 individuals and 12 members from two focus group interviews. All interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim and the data analysed using thematic analysis. Results Two themes emerged from the study, namely nurses’ understanding of the concept of PFCC and how they see the benefits of PFCC in a peri-operative context. Subthemes of the nurses’ understanding of PFCC included their perceptions of PFCC, the need for collaboration, information sharing and communication and the importance of PFCC practices in a peri-operative context. Subthemes for benefits of PFCC in the peri-operative context included nurse-related benefits, patient- and family-related benefits and healthcare system-related benefits. Conclusions The study revealed that the concept PFCC is unfamiliar to the Ghanaian peri-operative context despite the positive perceptions exhibited by the nurses in terms of their understanding of PFCC and its related benefits to nurses, patients and families as well as the healthcare system.
