| Popis: | Purpose/objectives To describe patient engagement as a safety strategy from the perspective of hospitalized surgical patients with cancer. . Research approach Qualitative, descriptive approach using grounded theory. . Setting Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York. . Participants 13 hospitalized surgical patients with cancer. . Methodologic approach Grounded theory with maximum variation sampling. . Findings Participants' perceptions regarding their engagement as a patient safety strategy were expressed through three overarching themes. Conclusions Using direct messaging, such as "your safety" as opposed to "patient safety," and teaching patients specific behaviors to maintain their safety appeared to facilitate patient engagement and increase awareness of safety issues. Patients may be willing to accept some responsibility for ensuring their safety by engaging in behaviors that are intuitive or that they are clearly instructed to do; however, they described their involvement in their safety as a right, not an obligation. . Interpretation Clear, inviting, multimodal communication appears to have the greatest potential to enhance patients' engagement in their safety. Nurses' ongoing assessment of patients' ability to engage is critical insofar as it provides the opportunity to encourage engagement without placing undue burden on them. By employing communication techniques that consider patients' perspectives, nurses can support patient engagement. |
