About this study

Official title: UNMET NURSING CARE PERCEPTIONS OF INTENSIVE CARE NURSES: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

This study was conducted to determine the perceptions of intensive care nurses regarding unmet care. A qualitative descriptive approach. The study was completed between April and September 2023 by conducting semi-structured individual interviews with 20 intensive care nurses in a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey and analyzed using the inductive content analysis method.

Read the detailed description

Unmet nursing care may occur due to systemic, institutional or nursing-related reasons. Reasons such as insufficient staff and equipment, excessive workload (Pereira et al., 2020), confusion between disciplines, and failure to prioritize care play an important role in missed care (Chaboyer et al., 2021; Dutra \& Guirardello, 2021; Kılıç et al., 2023). In summary, while improvements should be made in nursing care practices to ensure patient safety and quality of care, systemic improvements should also be made. In order to make these improvements, it should be determined what the missed nursing care experienced and perceived in the clinical field is and what causes them. This research was conducted to determine the perceptions of intensive care nurses about unmet nursing care. This study is a qualitative design research conducted with intensive care nurses. In the study, a purposeful sample selection was made in accordance with the qualitative research approach. The number of participants was determined according to data saturation and is based on the volunteering of a total of 20 intensive care nurses. During the interview, the participants were asked a personal information form and expert opinion on the subject, as well as in-depth interview questions in a semi-structured information form consisting of eight questions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. What is the perception of care among intensive care nurses?

    This study is a qualitative design study conducted with intensive care nurses. In the study, a purposeful sampling method was used in accordance with the qualitative research approach. The number of participants was determined according to data saturation and was based on the voluntary participation of a total of 20 intensive care nurses. During the interview, participants were asked to fill out a personal information form and expert opinions on the subject, as well as in-depth interview questions in a semi-structured information form consisting of eight questions. Data were collected through face-to-face individual interviews with nurses working in the intensive care unit of a Training and Research Hospital between April and September 2023. In-depth interview questions were prepared in line with literature knowledge and expert opinions were obtained.

    Measured: April-September 2023

  2. What are the thoughts of intensive care nurses regarding the perception of unmet care?

    After the interviews were completed, the raw data were manually transcribed by the researchers. The content analysis method was used in the evaluation of the data. The data were read several times by the researchers and codes were created from each word, sentence and paragraph. The analysis of the data was carried out manually using the level coding system and themes were created. Level coding was applied as open coding (first level), selective coding (second level), themes (third level) (Yıldırım \& Şimşek 2016). After this stage, the relevant codes were classified and themes and sub-themes were created (Elo \& Kyngäs, 2008; Vaismoradi et al., 2013).

    Measured: April-September 2023
