Abstract
Aim
To identify and synthesise the current evidence on elective general surgery patient experience of care.
Design
An integrative review reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
Data sources
CINAHL, Medline, Embase, and PsycInfo databases were searched for primary peer-reviewed studies published in English between 2010 and January 2023.
Review methods
Studies on the experiences of elective general surgery patients (aged 16 and above) published in English were included. Studies that focused on emergency surgical patient experiences or proxy-reported experiences were excluded. Titles and abstracts of retrieved studies were screened according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted and quality assessment of the included articles was undertaken using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Data were analysed using Thomas and Harden’s thematic synthesis framework.
Results
About 36 studies were included. Six themes were identified: (i) daring to care; (ii) seeing the same people; (iii) being a decision partner in my own care; (iv) keeping me in the loop; (v) receiving information from the right person, at the right time; and (vi) seeking comfort.
Conclusion
Review findings resonate with key dimensions of patient-centred care and demonstrate that treating a patient as a unique person, involving patients in care, and providing information can influence general surgery patients’ perceptions of their hospital experience. These findings could inform areas for improvement in nursing practice, to enhance general surgery patients’ experience.
期刊介绍：
Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN).
The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues.
Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor.
The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription.
ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
