Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceptions of patient rounding, self-leadership and nursing organization culture on intentional rounding performance.METHODS: The participants for this study were 210 nurses who had the experience of patient rounding care in general hospitals in B and Y cities. Data were collected from February 5th to 22nd, 2018. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ² test, and independent t-test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing intentional rounding performance.RESULTS: It was found that intentional rounding performance was carried out by 20.0% of the day shift nurses, 18.1% of the evening shift nurses, and 19.5% of the night shift nurses. The significant factors influencing intentional rounding performance were the recommended rounding time interval in wards and the use of rounding protocol in the wards (p < .050).CONCLUSION: It is expected that nurses will be able to provide more advanced and efficient patient rounding by promising a systematic patient rounding time for intentional rounding and developing appropriate protocols for each ward.
