The survey covered 13 hospitals with 119 medical and surgical wards, in which the nursing care quality for a sample of 2065 patients was assessed. Instruments used were (a) the Patient Classification Form, to assess patient dependency level, and (b) Monitor--an index of the quality of nursing care for acute medical and surgical wards [Goldstone et al., Polytechnic Products, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1982], a British adaptation of the Rush Medicus methodology [Jelinek et al., US Dept of Health, Education and Welfare, 1974]. The survey process involved orientation of the hospitals' senior staff, and training of participants in the administration of patient classification and of Monitor. The highest quality nursing care was found in \"Meeting the patient's physical needs\"; the lowest in \"Assessment and planning of patient care\". Factors chosen for possible influence on quality of nursing care were: patient dependency category, type of ward (medical, surgical), ward size and hospital size. The most influential factor was found to be the patient dependency category.</p>","PeriodicalId":77341,"journal":{"name":"Quality assurance in health care : the official journal of the International Society for Quality Assurance in Health Care","volume":"5 1","pages":"57-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/intqhc/5.1.57","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19439931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To map descriptive characteristics of ideal inpatient psychiatric care through open patient interviews, using a sample of 78 hospitalized patients and, secondly, based on a content analysis of these interviews, to have another sample of 77 hospitalized patients rank the importance of 48 treatment characteristics extracted from the qualitative analysis. Results of the content analysis showed that characteristics of ideal inpatient treatment could be classified in six categories: staff-patient relationship, patient co-influence, treatment content, activities, ward atmosphere and staff competence. Results from the patients' rating of the importance of treatment characteristics showed that patients put the highest emphasis on staff empathic qualities: being caring, interested and understanding, respecting patients, devoting time to patients, and creating a safe treatment environment. The least importance was ascribed to characteristics of the physical environment and daily routines on the ward.
