Covıd-19'un Hemşirelik Hassas Kalite Göstergeleri Üzerindeki Etkisinin Değerlendirilmesi: Çok Merkezli Bir Çalışma

Arka Plan: COVID-19 salgını dünya çapında sağlık sistemlerini önemli ölçüde bozdu ve bu benzeri görülmemiş zorluklar sırasında bakım kalitesini sürdürmek ve iyileştirmek için Hemşireliğe Hassas Kalite Göstergelerinin (HHKG'ler) yeniden değerlendirilmesini gerektirdi. Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 salgınının bakım kalitesi göstergeleri üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek, özellikle salgının sağlık sistemlerinin iş yükünü ve hastaneler ağındaki değişen HHKG’leri nasıl etkilediğini incelemektir. Çok merkezli, retrospektif, kesitsel, tanımlayıcı bir tasarım kullanan bu çalışmada, özel bir sağlık grubuyla bağlantılı on beş hastanedeki HHKG’ler analiz edildi. Ocak 2018'den Aralık 2021'e kadar olan veriler, hasta memnuniyeti, basınç yaralanması oranları ve tromboflebit olayları dahil olmak üzere pandeminin hasta bakım kalitesi göstergeleri üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmek için karşılaştırıldı. Çalışma, pandemi sonrası basınç yaralanmaları ve tromboflebit oranlarında önemli bir artış ve hasta memnuniyeti puanlarında bir düşüş buldu. Bu sonuçlar, COVID-19 pandemisinin hemşirelik bakım kalitesini olumsuz etkilediğini ve hasta güvenliği ve memnuniyeti konusunda endişelere yol açtığını gösteriyor. Bununla birlikte, veriler ayrıca düşük yan etki insidansı ve genel olarak yüksek hasta memnuniyeti ile genel olarak yüksek bir hemşirelik bakımı standardını yansıtıyor. COVID-19 salgını, NSQI'ları önemli ölçüde etkileyerek sağlık sistemlerinin yüksek kaliteli hemşirelik bakımını sürdürmek için uyum sağlama ihtiyacını vurguladı. Zorluklara rağmen, HHKG’lerin devam eden değerlendirilmesi ve iyileştirilmesi, hastaların değişen ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak ve etkili, hasta merkezli bakımı sağlamak için hayati önem taşımaktadır. Gelecekteki stratejiler, mevcut ve gelecekteki sağlık krizlerine karşı sağlık hizmeti sunumunun dayanıklılığını artırmak için bu dönemde kazanılan içgörülerden yararlanmalıdır.

Ana Noktalar:
Çalışma, Hemşirelikte Hassas Kalite Göstergelerinin (HHKG) pandemi sırasında önemli değişikliklere uğradığını göstermektedir. Bu değişiklikler arasında basınç yaralanmaları ve tromboflebit oranlarındaki artışın yanı sıra hasta memnuniyeti seviyelerindeki düşüş de yer almaktadır. Bulgular, pandeminin hemşirelik bakım kalitesi ve hasta sonuçları üzerindeki derin etkisini vurgulamaktadır.

Pandeminin yarattığı zorluklara rağmen, yüksek kaliteli hemşirelik bakımını sürdürmek için NSI'leri değerlendirmeye ve iyileştirmeye devam etmek çok önemlidir. Çalışma, hasta merkezli, güvenli ve etkili bakım sağlamak için uygulamalarını uyarlayan sağlık sistemlerinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Ayrıca, benzeri görülmemiş bir küresel sağlık krizi sırasında hemşirelik personelinin ve sağlık kuruluşlarının dayanıklılığını da göstermektedir. Ayrıca, hemşirelik işgücünün gelecekteki zorluklara yanıt verme kapasitesini artırmak için yenilikçi stratejilere ve sürekli mesleki gelişime duyulan ihtiyacı vurgulamaktadır.

Evaluating The Impact of Covid-19 on Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators: A Multicenter Study

ABSTRACT:

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted healthcare systems worldwide, necessitating a reevaluation of Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators (NSQIs) to maintain and improve care quality during these unprecedented challenges. This study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on quality-of-care indicators, specifically examining how the pandemic has influenced the workload of healthcare systems and altered NSQIs within a network of hospitals. Utilizing a multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive design, this study analyzed NSQIs in fifteen hospitals affiliated with a private healthcare group. Data from January 2018 to December 2021 were compared to evaluate the pandemic's effects on patient care quality indicators, including patient satisfaction, pressure injury rates, and thrombophlebitis incidents. The study revealed a significant increase in pressure injuries and thrombophlebitis rates post-pandemic, alongside a decrease in patient satisfaction scores. These findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted nursing care quality, raising concerns about patient safety and satisfaction. However, the data also indicate a generally high standard of nursing care, with low incidence of adverse events and high patient satisfaction overall. The COVID-19 pandemic has markedly influenced NSQIs, highlighting the need for healthcare systems to adapt to maintain high-quality nursing care. Despite the challenges, ongoing evaluation and improvement of NSQIs are crucial for addressing the evolving needs of patients and ensuring effective, patient-centered care. Future strategies should leverage insights from this period to enhance the resilience of healthcare delivery against current and future health crises.

Keywords: Nursing Care, Quality Indicators, Health Services COVID-19, Patient satisfaction, Quality in Healthcare





Main Points:

The study shows that Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators (NSQIs) in Nursing have undergone significant changes during the pandemic. These changes include increased rates of pressure injuries and thrombophlebitis, as well as decreased levels of patient satisfaction. The findings highlight the profound impact of the pandemic on nursing care quality and patient outcomes.

It is crucial to continue assessing and improving NSQIs to maintain high-quality nursing care, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. The study highlights the importance of health systems adapting their practices to provide patient-centered, safe, and effective care.

It also demonstrates the resilience of nursing staff and healthcare organizations during an unprecedented global health crisis. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for innovative strategies and continuous professional development to increase the capacity of the nursing workforce to respond to future challenges.
