Abstract:
Objective:To develop a journey map for health management of patients with disability caused by accidental trauma from the social ecosystem theory perspective, so as to gain deeper insights into their actual needs during medical treatment and rehabilitation.Methods:The descriptive qualitative research was adopted. Purposeful sampling was employed to select patients with disability caused by accidental trauma admitted to the Trauma Center of the Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University between April and May 2024 for semi-structured interviews. Traditional content analysis method was employed to analyze the interview data.Results:From three dimensions of microsystem, mesosystem, and macrosystem, the needs and potential issues of medical treatment at different stages of the health management process for patients with disability caused by accidental trauma were analyzed, forming a patient journey map.Conclusions:Patients with disability caused by accidental trauma face prolonged periods of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifestyle readjustment, imposing significant burdens on themselves, their caregivers, and their families. Healthcare providers may proactively engage with patients based on their current and potential issues and needs, offer specialized guidance at critical junctures and meet the need of patients for continuity of care, thereby improving patients' quality of life and overall health outcomes.
