Background / objectiveEvaluations of the health care quality of patients after abdominal operations are significant for the improvement of health care quality in all hospitals. However, there are a lot of discussions how to evaluate the patient’s opinion and attitudes. The aim of the present study was to analyze patients’ evaluations of the quality of abdominal surgical nursing care.MethodsA multicenter, cross-sectional, analytical study was performed. The study was conducted in 11 abdominal surgical wards at Lithuanian hospitals. The data were collected in June 2007 and January 2008. Patients (n = 1208) after abdominal operations participated in the study. A GNCS-P with the response rates of 74 % was used. The data were analyzed statistically.ResultsThe co-operation with significant others and the progress of the nursing and health care process were evaluated lowest by patients. The patient age and satisfaction were the factors related to the quality of nursing care.ConclusionsThe abdominal surgical nursing and health care is a specific surgical area in which different patients are involved; however, all of them expect the good quality of health care before, during, and after abdominal surgery. The process of nursing care in abdominal surgery is specific because of the limited time of patient hospitalization, usually multiple patients’ diagnosis, as well as multiple contacts and relationships with many different staff. Surgical patient participation in the process of health care should be based on the effective relationship and co-operation among patients, medical specialists, and significant others, which is necessary and imperative for increasing the quality of abdominal surgical nursing care.Key words: health and the quality of nursing care, surgical health care, abdominal surgery, patient evaluations.Pacientų po pilvo operacijų sveikatos priežiūros ir slaugos kokybės vertinimai Įvadas / tikslasPacientų po pilvo operacijų sveikatos priežiūros kokybės vertinimai yra reikšmingi siekiant gerinti ligoninės paslaugų kokybę. Tačiau daug diskutuojama, kaip būtų galima vertinti pacientų nuomonę ir požiūrį į kokybę. Tyrimo tikslas – išanalizuoti pacientų sveikatos priežiūros ir slaugos kokybės vertinimus.MetodaiTyrimui atlikti buvo pasirinktas daugiacentris aprašomasis tyrimo metodas. Pacientų apklausa vyko 2007 m. birželio–2008 m. sausio mėn. septynių Lietuvos ligoninių 11-oje pilvo chirurgijos skyrių. Pacientai (n=1208), kuriems atlikta pilvo operacija,apklausti paskutinę hospitalizacijos dieną. Klausimynų grįžtamumas 74 proc. Atlikta statistinė duomenų analizė.RezultataiBendradarbiavimą su paciento artimaisiais ir sveikatos priežiūros pažangą pacientai įvertino blogiausiai. Pacientų amžius ir pasitenkinimas sveikatos priežiūra turėjo koreliacinį ryšį su sveikatos priežiūros kokybe.IšvadosPacientų po pilvo operacijų sveikatos priežiūra ir slauga yra specifinė chirurgijos sritis. Visi jie tikisi gauti kokybiškas paslaugas prieš operaciją, jos metu ir po jos. Slaugos procesas pilvo chirurgijoje yra savitas ir todėl, kad pacientų hospitalizacijos laikas yra ribotas, jie dažnai serga gretutinėmis ligomis, turi daug kontaktų ir santykių su personalu. Pacientų dalyvavimas sveikatos priežiūros procese turi būti grindžiamas efektyviais jų santykiais ir bendradarbiavimu su medikais ir savo artimaisiais, nes nuo to priklauso paslaugos kokybės tobulinimas.Reikšminiai žodžiai: sveikatos priežiūros ir slaugos kokybė, chirurginė sveikatos priežiūra, pilvo operacija, pacientų vertinimai

Various health care measures have been identified over the years as indicators of health care quality. However, studies evaluating the quality of nursing care among different patient groups are scarce. Patients undergoing abdominal surgery may be a group that has different views, needs, expectations, and evaluation of the quality of nursing care. Literature search was conducted using the following key words in various combinations in the MEDLINE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases: quality of nursing, surgical or perioperative, abdominal or abdomen. The studies that focused on the evaluation of surgical nursing care with a study sample of patients undergoing abdominal surgery and nurses taking care of these patients were included in this scoping review. In total, 17 research articles were analyzed. The analysis revealed that the quality of nursing care was usually rated as high according to the perceptions of patients and/or nurses. The following factors associated with the quality of nursing care were identified: nurse staffing, organizational characteristics, patients’ characteristics, nurses’ characteristics, nursing care needs, and nursing documentation. Further research should be focused on the measurement and evaluation of the quality of abdominal surgical nursing care from nurses’, patients’ and their relatives’ perceptions by using nonexperimental and experimental study designs for gaining the knowledge how to improve the quality in practice.

Abstract Background Excess morbidity and mortality following critical illness is increasingly attributed to potentially avoidable complications occurring as a result of complex ICU management (Berenholtz et al., J Crit Care 17:1-2, 2002; De Vos et al., J Crit Care 22:267-74, 2007; Zimmerman J Crit Care 1:12-5, 2002). Routine measurement of quality indicators (QIs) through an Electronic Health Record (EHR) or registries are increasingly used to benchmark care and evaluate improvement interventions. However, existing indicators of quality for intensive care are derived almost exclusively from relatively narrow subsets of ICU patients from high-income healthcare systems. The aim of this scoping review is to systematically review the literature on QIs for evaluating critical care, identify QIs, map their definitions, evidence base, and describe the variances in measurement, and both the reported advantages and challenges of implementation. Method We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane libraries from the earliest available date through to January 2019. To increase the sensitivity of the search, grey literature and reference lists were reviewed. Minimum inclusion criteria were a description of one or more QIs designed to evaluate care for patients in ICU captured through a registry platform or EHR adapted for quality of care surveillance. Results The search identified 4780 citations. Review of abstracts led to retrieval of 276 full-text articles, of which 123 articles were accepted. Fifty-one unique QIs in ICU were classified using the three components of health care quality proposed by the High Quality Health Systems (HQSS) framework. Adverse events including hospital acquired infections (13.7%), hospital processes (54.9%), and outcomes (31.4%) were the most common QIs identified. Patient reported outcome QIs accounted for less than 6%. Barriers to the implementation of QIs were described in 35.7% of articles and divided into operational barriers (51%) and acceptability barriers (49%). Conclusions Despite the complexity and risk associated with ICU care, there are only a small number of operational indicators used. Future selection of QIs would benefit from a stakeholder-driven approach, whereby the values of patients and communities and the priorities for actionable improvement as perceived by healthcare providers are prioritized and include greater focus on measuring discriminable processes of care.

Local health companies have been trying to report quantitative and qualitative information through social reporting tools for a long time. The OECD has been questioning for quite some time how to evaluate satisfaction and quality by not considering the economic aspect alone in the quest for satisfying the needs of the citizen. The aim of the work is to evaluate how the compound indicator of well-being perceived by the population and the composite indicator of the quality of health services can be used to define health policies considering the incidence of other variables. In the analysis, it is therefore assessed how much the two indicators are related and linked to other variables that need to be considered and how independent indicators are used without further evaluations to target policies. The data are updated to October 18, 2017. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA V.13 (Stata Corp, College Station, Texas, USA, 2013) and p value <0.05 was considered significant for all analyses. The sample is made up of 35 OECD countries.

Summary Health care has witnessed considerable progresses toward quality improvement over the past two decades. More precisely, there have been global efforts aimed to improve this aspect of health care along with experts and decision-makers reaching the consensus that quality is one of the most significant dimensions and features of health system. Quality health care implies highly efficient resource use in order to meet patient’s needs in terms of prevention and treatment. Quality health care is provided in a safe way while meeting patients’ expectations and avoiding unnecessary losses. The mission of continuous improvement in quality of care is to achieve safe and reliable health care through mutual efforts of all the key supporters of health system to protect patients’ interests. A systematic approach to measuring the process of care through quality indicators (QIs) poses the greatest challenge to continuous quality improvement in health care. Quality indicators are quantitative indicators used for monitoring and evaluating quality of patient care and treatment, continuous professional development (CPD), maintaining waiting lists, patients and staff satisfaction, and patient safety.
