Abstract

Background An estimated 64.3 million people live with heart failure (HF) worldwide and most are older adults. HF patients often use emergency services, and unplanned hospitalizations represent 20-25% of all hospital admissions in those over 65 years of age. During these frequent hospitalizations, patients with HF may experience adverse clinical events, such as falls, pressure ulcers, and infections. Furthermore, during these hospitalizations, patients with HF can develop a good mutuality(i.e., good quality in the relationship)with nurses, characterized by empathy, trust, reciprocity, equality, shared goals, shared decision making, and sharing of care. It is unknown whether mutuality is associated with hospital admissions, and adverse clinical events. Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether nurse-patient mutuality is associated with reduced hospital admission(i.e., use of emergency services and unplanned hospitalizations) and adverse clinical events(i.e., falls, pressure ulcers, and infections). Method A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in Italy. Mutuality was measured with the Nurse-Patient Mutuality in Chronic Illness Scale, which includes three dimensions: "Developing and going beyond"(score ranges 3-15),"Being a point of reference"(score ranges 8-40)and "Deciding and sharing care"(score ranges 9-45). Higher scores mean better mutuality. Adverse clinical events were obtained from medical records. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Covariates in the tested models were age, sex, education, living conditions, number of diseases, and number of medications. Results A sample of 167 patients with HF participated in the study (mean age 66.6, SD ±13.9; 58.1 % male). The mutuality average scores were 12.8(±2.4), 35.4(±5.0) and 32.0(±8.7) for "Developing and going beyond", "Being a pointof reference" and "Deciding and sharing care",respectively. Logistic regression showed that higher "Developing and going beyond" scores were associated with lower odds of pressure ulcers(OR=.49, 95%CI[.27-.87])and infections(OR=.75, 95%CI[.59-.96]); higher "Being a point of reference" scores were associated with lower odds of pressure ulcers(OR=.56, 95%CI[.37-.84]); higher "Deciding and sharing care" scores were associated with lower odds of infections(OR=.86, 95%CI[.80-.92]), of uses of emergency services(OR=.92, 95%CI[.87-.97]), of unplanned hospitalizations(OR=.94, 95%CI[.89-.99]),and of falls(OR=.90, 95%CI[.84-.97]). Among the covariates, patients living alone were 3.01(95%CI [1.06-.8.54])times as likely to have emergency access than those living with a family. Conclusions Our study showed that nurse-patient mutuality has an important role in predicting either hospital admissions or adverse clinical events. These results, if supported by further studies, may be useful to guide future interventions for patients with HF in order to reduce their hospitalizations and improve their clinical outcomes.
提高心力衰竭患者与护士之间关系的质量,减少入院率和不良临床事件的发生
背景 据估计,全球有 6430 万人患有心力衰竭(HF),其中大多数是老年人。心力衰竭患者经常使用急诊服务,非计划住院占 65 岁以上老年人住院总数的 20-25%。在频繁住院期间,高血压患者可能会出现不良临床事件,如跌倒、压疮和感染。此外,在住院期间,心房颤动患者可能会与护士建立良好的相互关系(即优质关系),其特点是移情、信任、互惠、平等、共同目标、共同决策和共享护理。目前尚不清楚相互性是否与入院率和不良临床事件有关。目的 本研究旨在探讨护患互惠是否与减少入院(即使用急诊服务和非计划住院)和不良临床事件(即跌倒、压疮和感染)有关。方法 在意大利进行了一项多中心横断面研究。研究采用慢性病护患相互关系量表(Nurse-Patient Mutuality in Chronic Illness Scale)进行测量,该量表包括三个维度:"发展和超越"(分值范围 3-15)、"成为参照点"(分值范围 8-40)和 "决定和分享护理"(分值范围 9-45)。得分越高,相互性越好。不良临床事件来自医疗记录。数据采用描述性统计和逻辑回归进行分析。测试模型中的协变量包括年龄、性别、教育程度、生活条件、疾病数量和药物数量。结果 167 名高血压患者参与了研究(平均年龄 66.6 岁,标准差 ±13.9;58.1% 为男性)。在 "发展和超越"、"成为参照点 "和 "决定和分享护理 "方面,相互性平均得分分别为 12.8(±2.4)分、35.4(±5.0)分和 32.0(±8.7)分。逻辑回归显示,"发展和超越 "得分越高,发生压疮(OR=.49,95%CI[.27-.87])和感染(OR=.75,95%CI[.59-.96])的几率越低;"成为参照点 "得分越高,发生压疮(OR=.56,95%CI[.37-.84]);"决定和分享护理 "得分越高,感染(OR=.86,95%CI[.80-.92])、使用急诊服务(OR=.92,95%CI[.87-.97])、计划外住院(OR=.94,95%CI[.89-.99])和跌倒(OR=.90,95%CI[.84-.97])的几率越低。在协变量中,独居患者获得急诊服务的可能性是与家人同住患者的 3.01 倍(95%CI [1.06-.8.54])。结论 我们的研究表明,护患关系在预测入院率或不良临床事件方面发挥着重要作用。这些结果如果得到进一步研究的支持,将有助于指导未来对高血压患者的干预,从而减少他们的住院次数,改善他们的临床预后。
