Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore and clarify the role of nursing staff in geriatric rehabilitation on supporting patients in goal setting and achieving, through reflecting on rehabilitation interventions.
Design: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted.
Methods: We conducted four online focus group interviews with 23 members of the nursing staff working in geriatric rehabilitation. They reflected on six interventions, preclassified into three types: setting goals in the admission phase, increasing patient participation in order to personalize the rehabilitation trajectory, and supporting patients in working on short-term goals. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Results: Setting goals in the admission phase is primarily the task of the multidisciplinary team rather than the nursing staff. Interventions to increase patient participation align with the coordinating role of nursing staff in the rehabilitation team. Working on short-term goals is of great value to patients.
Clinical relevance to the practice of rehabilitation nursing: The connection between the patient's personal goals and professional treatment aimed at functional recovery can be enhanced by strengthening the position of nursing staff working in geriatric rehabilitation.
Conclusion: Members of nursing staff in geriatric rehabilitation see themselves playing a coordinating role in the multidisciplinary team, supporting the patient in goal work. Interventions aimed at advancing patient participation and providing support for short-term goals reinforce this role.
