Aims: To describe patient perceptions of quality and satisfaction with nursing care, nurse–patient interactions and barriers to and benefits of implementing a healthy lifestyle. Methods: A pretest–posttest cross-sectional correlational research design was used. Subjects were randomly selected between November 2001 and January 2002 from patients admitted to the National Institute of Cardiology in Budapest, Hungary. Participants completed 3 self-reported measures and a demographic survey, which assessed individual lifestyle behaviors (e.g. frequency of smoking, physical activity, stress and unhealthy dieting). Results: Satisfaction with nursing care and nurse–patient interactions influenced both perceived benefits and barriers. Patient satisfaction and perceived benefits at discharge were associated with more frequent exercising and less smoking. Among other factors, perceived benefits at discharge were predicted by attentive nurse behaviors toward patients and by patients’ ability to initiate discussion with nurses. Conclusions: Findings support effects of patient satisfaction and nurse–patient relationships on perceived benefits/barriers. Compared to barriers, perceived benefits more importantly determined health behaviors. Attentive nursing care and the patient's ability to discuss health concerns with nurses appear more influential in modifying patient perceptions. Exploring nursing interventions to maximize perceived benefits during hospitalization is suggested.

The purpose of this study is to examine patient perceptions of practitioner–patient communication in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) practices. During this study, we uncovered the importance of telenursing for nurse–patient communication during REI treatment. Telenursing, which is defined as the use of wireless technology for out-of-office communication, is the basis for out-of-office communication. We examined participants’ conceptualization of supportive and unsupportive communication, through the lens of biomedicalization theory. After conducting 23 interviews, we conclude that telenursing is integral to providing holistic nursing care during treatment at REI practices. We discuss efficient and effective uses of telenursing and patients’ positive perceptions telenursing and assess telenursing as both an embrace of and form of resistance to biomedicalization within Fertility, Inc. Theoretical and practical implications are offered, including suggestions for increasing patient access to telenursing while protecting REI nurses from burnout.

Transgender persons lead highly marginalized lives coupled with secondary social issues, making it challenging for them to receive respectful quality healthcare. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of transgender patients, so that nursing curricular changes may be instituted. The narrative inquiry allowed the exploration of patient perceptions with nursing care. Four themes emerged, including marginalization, uninformed nursing, system factors, and nursing role significance. Transgender persons suffer from discrimination and feelings of marginalization as a result of institutional culture, personal bias, and assumption. More research may support curricular and system advances for transgender patients.

A pilot study was conducted in an acute care hospital’s rehabilitation unit to determine the effect of a 3 min, slow, back massage during evening nursing care on patient perceptions of nurse caring. The intervention was based on Watson’s (2008; 2012) theory of caring. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare perception of nurse caring by experimental group (n = 15) and usual care group (n = 14). Results showed no statistically significant difference between the groups on patient perceptions of nurse caring. Both groups were asked survey questions after evening care was given. Both groups responded similarly. Three themes relating to nurse caring emerged from the surveys: providing hygienic and comfort care, demonstrating nurse caring behaviors, and being relaxed and comforted. Lastly, patients in both groups reported a positive experience with their evening nursing care.
