Nurses´ reports on rationed nursing care in selected private hospitals: Preliminary results

Original language description

Background: The phenomenon of rationed nursing care represents a global problem that jeopardizes the provision of quality and safe care. To date, there are a limited number of studies that focus on the occurrence of this phenomenon in the private care setting.Objectives: To explore the frequency and patterns of rationed nursing care and the factors that contribute to its frequency in selected private hospitals in Slovakia.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2022 and January 2023. Data collection was carried out using the Basel Extent Rationing of Nursing Care – Revised. The study sample consisted of 174 nurses working in three selected Slovak private hospitals. In data analysis, we used descriptive statistics for the evaluation of the instrument and the sample characteristics. Additionally, differences in the frequency of rationed nursing care based on selected variables were analyzed using nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney U test; Kruskal-Wallis test). For numerical variables the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) was used. The results were tested at a significance level of p &lt; 0.05.Results: The frequency of rationed nursing care was 49.3%. The most frequently withheld nursing care activity was increased supervision of confused patients and the need for their restraint (69.8%; 2.26 ± 1.09). Differences in the evaluation of rationed nursing care were identified based on the type of unit and the position of the job. The occurrence of rationed nursing care was influenced by nurse experience in the current position, evaluation of quality care, overall patient safety degree, number of patients/shifts, number of admitted ad discharged patients/shifts, job satisfaction, satisfaction with the current position, and satisfaction with teamwork in our study (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: This study serves as a catalyst for nurse managers to take proactive steps in addressing rationed nursing care, fostering a culture of safety, and promoting excellence in patient-centered care delivery within private hospital settings in Slovakia. By embracing innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we can overcome the challenges posed by rationed care and uphold the principles of quality, safety, and compassion in nursing practice.
