A mixed-method study to develop and evaluate a structured therapeutic communication module on psychological distress and perceived needs among caregivers of critically ill patients in Critical Care Units

Aims and objectivesTo develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a structured therapeutic communication module on psychological distress and perceived needs among caregivers of critically ill patients. BackgroundCaregivers of critically ill patients experience intense psychological distress, and their needs often go unexpressed or unidentified. Structured therapeutic communication enables nurses to explore and fulfill these needs. MethodA mixed-method study was conducted among 30 caregivers of critically ill patients. During phase one, a qualitative interview was conducted, and a structured therapeutic communication module was developed based on Hildegard Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory. In the second phase, one group pre-test and post-test design was adopted. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and a Semi-structured interview schedule were used to assess psychological distress and perceived needs, respectively. ResultsHalf of (50 %) the caregivers reported a high level of anxiety before intervention, with a mean of 11.30 (SD: 4.0), and 66.7 % of them had a high level of depression, with a mean of 12.03 (SD: 0.08). There was a statistically significant difference in anxiety (CI: 0.451–2.016) and depression (CI: 0.261–1.538) before and after the intervention. The qualitative analysis revealed unmet needs perceived by caregivers. ConclusionUsing a structured therapeutic communication module helps nurses to alleviate the psychological distress experienced by caregivers of CCU patients. Relevance to clinical practiceNurses need to be sensitive to the unexpressed needs of caregivers of critically ill patients. The structured therapeutic communication modules can be integrated into routine nursing care practice to ensure family-centered care.

Nursing care of a child with autism spectrum disorder and family according to Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations: case report

Nursing theories and models serve as a guide by creating a standard for nursing care. Thanks to theories and models, the quality of patient care and the professional development of nurses increases. Hildegard E. Peplau, who created the 'Interpersonal Relations Theory' between the patient and the nurse in nursing, emphasized the communication between the patient and the nurse and stated that nurses should help the healing process by providing emotional support as well as physical care. Autism Spectrum Disorder, which requires multidisciplinary and biopsychosocial care, is an increasingly increasing neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the health of children and families. Autism Spectrum Disorder affects the child and family's physical and mental health, economic situation, routines, social life and interaction with other people. In this case report, nursing care was given and reported to a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder who was hospitalized with pneumonia and child’s family within the framework of Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory.

FIERCE Patient Care Model: Navigating Through Unfavorable Communication Pathways in Healthcare

Communicating unfavourable information is an unavoidable fact that is often confronted by healthcare practitioners. This practice model provides a new perspective for caring which can be applied in nursing situations and environments for health and well being. Conceptualizations for the practice model are influenced by Nightingale Environmental Theory, Relationship Based Care (RBC) model and Peplau theory of Interpersonal Relations. This practice model aims to prepare patients to become Fully Informed, Equipped, Ready, Committed, and Empowered (FIERCE). This highlights the significance of establishing a strengthened relationship between nurse and patient to effectively navigate challenging communication situations. Hence, it is an important addition to nursing knowledge since it possesses a significant potential to enhance health outcomes, feelings of satisfaction and quality of life by encouraging nurses to have the potential to deliver unfavourable information to patients in a more fulfilling manner while ensuring that patients are fully informed, equipped, ready, committed and empowered individuals.

The RANA Model Revisited: How a Primary Nursing Model for Professional Psychiatric Nursing Practice Has Withstood the Test of Time.

This article revisits the responsible, accountable nurse with authority (RANA) model and its continued application to psychiatric-mental health nursing care nearly 30 years after its development. It will ascertain key elements of the model that remain in use today, while identifying parts of the model that have transformed over the years. This article will also explore the theoretical underpinnings of the model, including Peplau's interpersonal relations theory. The impact of the primary nursing and relationship-based care models that influenced the RANA role will also be explored. Specific examples of how the RANA model has affected unit outcomes will be identified, such as improved patient safety measures and satisfaction with care. The nurse-patient relationship and therapeutic alliance is fundamental to the RANA model and directly affects patient outcomes.

Anxiety provoking behaviors of nursing clinical instructors and effects on undergraduate nursing students' wellbeing: A mixed methods design

AimThis study aimed to investigate the relationships between anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors in clinical settings and nursing students’ self-reported anxiety levels, perceived quality of life and demographic characteristics. BackgroundAnxiety has been consistently reported in the literature as a major barrier to nursing education. Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory (1992, 1997) served as a theoretical framework in the study to explore anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors in clinical settings. DesignA cross-sectional, correlational, mixed methods design was used. MethodsFifty-eight participants were recruited from the undergraduate nursing program at a Canadian university in the spring of 2021. An online survey, including demographic characteristics, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instruments (WHOQOL-BREF), was distributed to the participants before a face-to-face interview. The interview was conducted by peer nursing students in the program to reduce the power imbalance relationship, given the sensitivity of the topic. The interview data were thematically analyzed and the subthemes were used to code the qualitative interview into quantitative data. Pearson's correlation was performed to analyze the relationships between the number of experienced anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors, the SATI and WHOQOL-BREF scores. ResultsThe qualitative findings revealed two main themes, interpersonal relations and instructional styles and ten anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors as the subthemes. A significant positive relationship was observed between the number of anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors reported and the SATI score (r = .392, p < .001) and a significant negative relationship was observed between the number of reported anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors and the WHOQOL-BREF score in the domain of psychological health (r = −.343, p = .008), thus indicating that a higher number of reported anxiety-provoking teaching behaviors correlated with greater anxiety and lower psychological health. ConclusionsThe study revealed that students’ perceptions of the clinical instructors' interpersonal relations and instructional styles significantly affected their anxiety levels and psychological health in life.

This was a cross-sectional study of 236 inpatients selected by stratified random sampling. Competence to give consent was determined by a minimum score of 24 on Mini Mental State Examination. Patients were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Differences in proportions of variables were determined by calculating confidence interval and summary chi-squared statistics. P-values of < or =0.05 were considered significant. Majority of patients (87%) were aged 20-49 years with 43% having stayed in the ward for over a month. Structure factors related to patients' perception of care included physical environment, being happy with the way the ward looked was significantly related to satisfaction with care (chi(2) = 5.506, P = 0002). Process factors significantly related to patients' satisfaction with care included nurses providing patients with information on prescribed medicines (chi(2) = 10.50, P = 00012). Satisfaction with care was positively related to ability to recommend someone for admission in the same ward (chi(2) = 20.2, P = 00001). Structure and process factors identified as influencing patients' perception of care were physical environment and nurses' qualities that fit within the characteristics of Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory.
