Introduction Transport kit is a key element to ensure safe inter-facility transport (IFT). The kit was generally reported by transport staff to be heavy and inconvenient in accessing the required items.Objective This study aimed at evaluating the outcome and the feedback from emergency nurses on the use of a new and lighter nurse-led transport kit (NLTK) in IFT.Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in two Accident and Emergency Departments in Hong Kong from 1st January 2008 to 31st March 2008. All cases involving nurse-led IFT were included into the study. Questionnaires for assessing the rating of satisfaction were distributed to the staff after every mission.Results Eighty-four questionnaires were returned with a response rate of 80.8%. The overall rating on satisfaction before and after the use of NLTK was 14.6±3.0 and 19±3.2 respectively (mean±SD) with statistically significant improvement in terms of its weight, convenience and spaciousness of kit (p<0.05). Conclusion: The new NLTK is more user-friendly than the traditional kit in nurse-led IFT. |
