description | PURPOSE: To explore, through a learning activity for healthcare students, how patients perceived the ward round and its patient-centered approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients admitted for elective orthopedic surgery were invited to participate in the study, which involved answering a survey comprising seven intersectional questions and eight free text questions. In addition, medical and nursing students did semi-structured interviews with the patients, covering the same free text questions. Twenty-three patients answered the survey, of whom fifteen also completed the interviews. The results from the interviews were explored using a thematic content analysis. RESULTS: Forty-three percent (10/23) of the patients strongly agreed or agreed that their knowledge of patient-centered ward round was sufficient to be able to participate actively, and thirty percent (7/23) indicated they had good knowledge of the laws and regulations governing the care of patients. Most of the patients felt satisfied with how their own and their relatives’ experiences were taken into account. The categories information and to be listened to were mentioned repeatedly by patients as priorities for patient-centered ward rounds. The interview analysis revealed four main categories: preparation, communication, organization, and safety as important and in need of improvement. CONCLUSION: Less than half of the patients surveyed felt they could participate in the ward round, which indicates that there is an opportunity for improvement and development. Better information and communication about legal rights, as well as about the structure and content of the ward round, could be valuable to patients before admission. It is also important to find a way for patients’ individual wishes to be more fully and easily conveyed to medical staff. Creating a more tailor-made ward round for each patient and fulfilling a patient-centered approach will likely entail a substantial organizational and mental shift. |
