The development of science and technology that continues to progress, especially in the health sector requires changes in terms of service so that in providing more professional services in hospitals, nursing care must be of high quality. Nursing Law Number 38 of 2014 Article 3B states that nursing arrangements aim to improve the quality of nursing services, therefore the provision of quality nursing services is important in today's health services. The model of professional nursing care is divided into several models, namely primary, team and case nursing. Based on the results of a survey of research journals, the researchers concluded that there was no research that compared the professional nursing care team model with primary nursing in improving the quality of nursing care. The purpose of this study was to identify the use of the professional nursing care team model with the primary nursing model in improving the quality of nursing care. This type of research is a quantitative research type with a comparative design. The population in this study were all patients at the Inpatient Hospital where the study was conducted. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling technique. Data collection on the quality of nursing care used a quality scale patient assessment instrument – the acute care version (PAQS-ACV). This instrument was developed to assess the quality of nursing care. Data analysis in this study used an independent t-test. normality test using the Kolmorogov-Smirnov test with a significance value (p > 0.05). The results showed that there was a significant difference between the quality of nursing care in the team group and the quality of nursing care in the primary nursing group where the value of sig (2-tailed) was 0.008 where > 0.05, the results also showed that based on the results of the frequency distribution test the quality of nursing care was using the team model and the primary nursing model has a high majority value of nursing care quality, but there is a difference in the average value (mean) where the quality of nursing care in the nursing care model group in the team method group is 144.86 and the quality of nursing care in the primary nursing model group is 155.83. These results indicate that the quality of nursing care with the primary nursing model has a higher quality of care value than the group nursing care model with the team method. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that hospitals can apply a professional nursing practice model, especially the primary nursing model to further improve the quality of nursing care provided.

ObjectiveTo examine the impact of nurse staffing on patient-perceived quality of nursing care. We differentiate nurse staffing levels and nursing skill mix as two facets of nurse staffing and use a multidimensional instrument for patient-perceived quality of nursing care. We investigate non-linear and interaction effects.SettingThe study setting was 3458 hospital units in 1017 hospitals in Germany.ParticipantsWe contacted 212 554 patients discharged from non-paediatric, non-intensive and non-psychiatric hospital units who stayed at least two nights in the hospital between January and October 2019. Of those, 30 174 responded, yielding a response rate of 14.2%. Our sample included only those patients. After excluding extreme values for our nurse staffing variables and removing observations with missing values, our final sample comprised 28 136 patients ranging from 18 to 97 years of age (average: 61.12 years) who had been discharged from 3458 distinct hospital units in 1017 hospitals.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPatient-perceived quality of nursing care (general nursing care, guidance provided by nurses, and patient loyalty to the hospital).ResultsFor all three dimensions of patient-perceived quality of nursing care, we found that they significantly decreased as (1) nurse staffing levels decreased (with decreasing marginal effects) and (2) the proportion of assistant nurses in a hospital unit increased. The association between nurse staffing levels and quality of nursing care was more pronounced among patients who were less clinically complex, were admitted to smaller hospitals or were admitted to medical units.ConclusionsOur results indicate that, in addition to nurse staffing levels, nursing skill mix is crucial for providing the best possible quality of nursing care from the patient perspective and both should be considered when designing policies such as minimum staffing regulations to improve the quality of nursing care in hospitals.

AbstrakPeningkatkan mutu asuhan keperawatan di rumah sakit memerlukan restructuring, reengineering, dan redesigning sistem pemberian asuhan keperawatan melalui implementasi Model Praktik Keperawatan Profesional (MPKP). Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk menilai dampak implementasi MPKP terhadap mutu asuhan keperawatan di rumah sakit. Disain penelitian adalah kuasi eksperimen dalam bentuk pre and post test with control group. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah uji Chi-square dan uji t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kelompok intervensi (MPKP) terdapat peningkatan kepuasan klien dan keluarga (OR=114,24) yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan peningkatan kepuasan klien dan keluarga pada kelompok kontrol (OR=3,78). Demikian juga terdapat peningkatan kepatuhan perawat terhadap standar yang lebih tinggi pada kelompok intervensi (OR=235,5) dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol (OR=0). Lama hari rawat lebih pendek pada kelompok intervensi. Angka infeksi nosokomial juga lebih rendah pada kelompok intervensi dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa implementasi MPKP dapat meningkatkan mutu asuhan keperawatan di rumah sakit. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, untuk memicu implementasi MPKP di berbagai rumah sakit, disarankan agar implementasi MPKP menjadi salah satu kriteria penilaian pada akreditasi rumah sakit khususnya pelayanan keperawatan AbstractIn order to improve the quality of nursing care in the hospital, nursing care delivery system need restructuring, reengineering, and redesigning through the implementation of Professional Nursing Practice Model (PNPM). The study was aimed to evaluate the impact of the PNPM on the quality of nursing care in the hospital. The design used was quasi experiment in pre and post test with control group. The statistic used are Chi-square and t-test. The result showed that in the intervention group, the improvement of client/family satisfaction with nursing care (OR = 114,28) was higher than the improvement in the control group (OR = 3,78). It was founded there was an improvement of the compliance of nurses to the standard was higher in the intervention group (OR = 235,5) compare to control group (OR = 0). The length of stay shorter in the intervention group, and also the nosocomial infection rate is lower in the intervention group compare to control group. The study concluded that the implementation of the PNPM could improve the quality of nursing care in the hospital. Based on this result, in order to challenge the implementation of PNPM in the hospital it was suggested that the implementation of PNPM becomes an evaluation criteria for hospital accreditation specifically for nursing service.

Background: More than one billion of peripheral venous catheters are inserted into hospitalized patients every year. This study sought to identify the status of nursing care in vascular accesses in different hospitals and to evaluate the impact of a series of informative and formative interventions aimed at their care. Methods: Quasi-experimental, multicenter study. A total of 54 nursing professionals of 19 hospitals participated. The intervention consisted of informative talk and three training sessions related to the care and maintenance of vascular accesses and intravenous therapy in the hospital-admitted adult population. This was delivered in four years, with eight periodic cross-sectional assessments conducted before and after each intervention. To assess quality of nursing care in vascular accesses and intravenous therapy, a quality indicator called Standard Variable (VES), was developed and validated with the Delphi methodology. Results: A total of 21,108 patients, aged 64.0 years (SD 18.3), were assessed, of which 78.3% (16,516) had some type of vascular access inserted. An average of 22.1% (95% CI: 21.4–22.7) were classified as optimal. In total, 3218 nursing care professionals took part in the training activities. The VES indicator grew steadily throughout the study, raising from 7.8% to 37.6%. Changes were statistically significant between those time points in which one of the described interventions was delivered; however, there were no significant changes between time points with no intervention. Conclusions: This study supports that continuous training interventions can produce improvements in the quality of nursing care and reduce complications in patients with vascular accesses. In addition, the VES indicator was a useful and simple tool to measure quality, but the experience with its use suggests continuous research in the search for standardized indicators that objectify the evaluation and evolution of care.
