Abstract Background The primary nursing care model is considered a personalized model of care delivery based on care continuity and on the relationship between the nurse and patient. Primary nursing checklists are not often mentioned in the literature; however, they represent a valid instrument to develop, implement, and evaluate primary nursing. The aim of this study was to create a structured checklist to explore hospital compliance in primary nursing. Methods The Delphi method was used to develop and validate a checklist. The preliminary version was created and sent to three experts for their opinions. Their comments were ultimately used in the first version, which included four components with 19 items regarding primary nursing characteristics. A two-round Delphi process was used to generate consensus items. The Delphi panel consisted of six experts working in primary nursing contexts and/or teaching or studying primary nursing. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from July 2020 to January 2021. These experts were asked to rate each element for relevance using a 4-point Likert-type scale. Furthermore, the consensus among the panel of experts was set at ≥78%, with selected items being voted “quite relevant” and “highly relevant”. Content validity index (I-CVI) and modified kappa statistic were also calculated. Following expert evaluation, the first version of the checklist was modified, and the new version, constituting 17 items, was sent to the same experts. Results The first version of the checklist demonstrated a main relevance score of 3.34 (SD = 0.83; range = 1.3–4; mean I-CVI = 0.84; range: 0.83–1), but three items did not receive an adequate I-CVI score, that is, lower than 0.78. After the second round, the I-CVIs improved. The main score of relevance was 3.61 (SD: 0.35; range = 2.83–4; mean = I-CVI: 0.93). The S-CVI/UA was 0.58, and the S-CVI/Ave was 0.93. Conclusion Measuring primary nursing compliance should be implemented to provide continuous feedback to nurses. Moreover, utilizing valid checklists could permit comparing different results from others’ research. Future research should be conducted to compare the results from the checklist with nursing outcomes.

Primary Nursing is a model of care delivery that has been shown to improve the quality of care provided to patients and enhance the nurse–patient relationship. Although there is considerable attention in the literature on Primary Nursing concerning inpatient hospital units, there has been no discussion of Primary Nursing in short-stay units. Our hospital aimed to introduce Primary Nursing into all the units including short-stay. Staff were educated about the role of the primary nurse using Koloroutis’s (2004) Relationship-Based Care model, comprising three crucial relationships: care provider’s relationship with patients and families, with self, and with colleagues. The primary nurse develops the plan of care for individual patients based on their therapeutic relationship, which is sustained for the patient’s length of stay in the unit.

Model Praktek Keperawatan Profesional (PKP) diartikan sebagai suatu system (struktur, proses dan nilai-nilai professional) yang memungkinkan perawat professional mengatur pemberian asuhan keperawatan termasuk lingkungan yang diperlukan. Melalui pengembangan model ini terdapat otonomi dan akontabilitas perawat, pengembangan professional dan penekanan pada mutu asuhan keperawatan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut pada model PKP yang dikembangkan di RSCM diperlukan penataan 3 (tiga) komponen utama dalam pemberian asuhan keperawatan yaitu ketenagaan; metoda pemberian asuhan dan dokumentasi keperawatan. Pada model ini metoda pemberian asuhan keperawatan yang digunakan adalah tim primer (kombinasi metoda keperawatan primer dan metoda tim). Model ini dikembangkan di ruang rawat penyakit dalam dengan kapasitas 30 tempat tidur. Setelah model dimplementasikan +/- 8 bulan, hasil yang dicapai menunjukkan, secara kualitatif perawat primer merasakan kebanggaan professional, perawat asosiet mengatakan pekerjaan lebih terencana dan dokter menilai, bahwa mereka merasakan kerjasama dengan perawat lebih baik dibandingkan dengan ruang rawat lainnya. AbstractProfessional nursing practice model (PNPM) is a system (structure, process and values) that supports nurse control over the delivery of nursing care and the environment in which care is delivered. This model ensure nurse autonomy, nurse accountability, and professional development. It also emphasizes on high quality of care. In order to develop the model at Cipto mangunkusumo hospital, it is needed to focus on three main components. The components are nursing manpower, method of nursing care delivery and nursing documentation. The method of nursing care delivery used in this model is a primary team which is the combination of primary nursing and team method. The model was developed at medical word with 30 beds. After eight month implementation, a qualitative evaluation showed that primary nurses felt a professional pride, associate nurses stated that tasks are more organized and doctors assured that collaboration with nurses in the model unit is better than in order places.Keywords: Professional nursing practice model, primary team, primary nurse.

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.

This article analyzes the work methods based on care design, identification of needs, care organization, planning, delivery, evaluation, continuity, safety, and complexity of care, and discharge preparation. It describes the diagnosis of the situation, goal setting, strategy selection, implementation, and outcome evaluation that contribute to adopting a given work conception and/or method for nursing care delivery. Later, the concepts underlying the several methods—management theories and theoretical nursing concepts—are presented, with reference to relevant authors. The process of analysis and selection of the method is explained, highlighting the importance of diagnosis of the situation, goal setting, strategy selection, implementation, and outcome evaluation. The importance of various elements is highlighted, such as structural aspects, nature of care, target population, resources, and philosophy of the institution, which may condition the adoption of a method. The importance of care conceptualization is also underlined. The work methods are presented with a description of the key characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of the task-oriented method (functional nursing) and patient-centered methods: individual, team nursing, and primary nursing. A critical and comparative analysis of the methods is then performed, alluding to the combination of person-centered methods.

The primary nursing care model optimizes relationship-based care. Despite using a primary nursing model on a pediatric hematology/oncology inpatient unit, it was hypothesized patients and nurses were dissatisfied with the structure of primary care teams and inconsistency of primary assignments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient/family and nurse perceptions of our current care model through assessing gaps in its operationalization and satisfaction. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design featuring patient/family and nurse surveys. Of the 59 patient/family respondents, 93.2% prefer to have a primary nurse care for them and 85% are satisfied with how often they are assigned a primary care team member. Similarly, 63% of the 57 nurse respondents are satisfied with the current implementation of our primary nursing model and 61% state the model reflects good continuity of care. Yet 80.7% of nurses believe safety would improve for a patient whose nurse works shifts consecutively even if not a primary nurse. Overall, patients, families, and nurses value care continuity and meaningful nurse–patient relationships, which is fundamental to primary nursing.
