ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of training of Bobath position transfer technique for nurses.Methods Thirty nurses were recruited in the study using convenience sampling and received training of Bobath transfer technique.Five variables were evaluated before and after training:transfer skills,transfer intensity,sense of comfort,and sense of comfort and sense of security from simulated patients.Results Nurses' transfer skills and sense of comfort were higher after training (P＜0.05).Transfer intensity was lower than before (P＜0.05).Sense of comfort and sense of security from simulated patients were improved after the training (P＜0.05).Conclusion Training of Bobath transfer technique can improve nurses' transfer skills and promote sense of comfort and sense of security from simulated patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the application of Germany Cooperation for Transparency and Quality in Health Care (KTQ) quality certification system in the field of nursing management. Methods The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) from KTQ was used in the management of ward nursing quality. The post-interventional quality of basic nursing, critical nursing, health education, ward management, nursing safety and disinfection and isolation were compared and contrasted with the pre-interventional one. Result The quality of basic nursing, critical nursing, health education, ward management, nursing safety and disinfection and isolation were significantly improved after intervention with PDCA from KTQ (P<0.01). Conclusion The KTQ quality certification system can be applied to improve the nursing quality in the process of nursing management.
