[PMID: 38724959 PMCID: PMC11080210 DOI: 10.1186/s12912-024-01918-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify critical satisfaction gaps in a home nursing mobile application (APP) using a systematic decision-making model. METHODS Initially, the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method was used to analyze the relationship structure and corresponding weights among the indicators. The Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method was used to identify the categories of all indicators and their corresponding strategic directions. Twenty-six home nursing specialists currently providing home nursing services were recruited for this study. RESULTS The IPA results revealed that "Assurance," "Reliability," and "Personal security protection" are critical satisfaction gaps. From the influence network and weight results, "information quality" and "system quality" were the critical quality factors in the home nursing mobile APP. The influence of the network relationship structure and weight demonstrated a 98.12% significance level, indicating good stability. CONCLUSION Continuous improvement in information and system quality is recommended to optimize the overall quality of the home nursing mobile APP. Additionally, user demands should be considered, and personal safety guarantee functions should be developed and integrated into the system to ensure the safety of home nursing workers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary care providers play an important role in home health care, and their practice behavior is significant for care quality and patient outcomes. This study aimed to assess the home care practice behavior of Chinese primary care providers and to explore the factors associated with the practice behavior. METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional design with a convenience sample was used to survey 863 registered primary care providers from 62 primary health care settings in Sichuan Province, China. Descriptive statistics, t-test or ANOVA for one-way analysis, and Pearson's correlation analyses were used to compare the differences and examine the relationships between participants' demographics and experience of home care services and practice behavior. Multiple linear regression models were performed to identify salient variables associated with the practice behavior from among demographic and home care experience. RESULTS The score of home care practice behavior questionnaire was 97.25 ± 21.05. The average scores for the dimensions of home visit preparation, assessment, medical care behavior and safety practice were 3.70 ± 0.95, 3.76 ± 1.02, 3.66 ± 1.03, and 3.20 ± 0.46, respectively. Home care practice behavior was associated with working years, working experience in general hospitals, work area, home care experience such as client types of home care, service frequency and willingness, explaining 21.5% of the total variance. CONCLUSION Chinese primary care providers had a medium to high level of home care practice behavior but poor implementation of safety practice. The results may provide clues to increased focus and implementation of safety practice, as well as providing targeted measures based on influencing factors.

Risk Manag Healthc Policy 2024; 17:803-814. [PMID: 38606346 PMCID: PMC11006594 DOI: 10.2147/rmhp.s452053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim To evaluate the existing level of emergency capabilities among shared nurses and analyze the factors influencing these capabilities. Methods An descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to October 2023, a purposive sampling method was employed to select 340 shared nurses as the subjects for investigation in Nanchang and Ganzhou cities of Jiangxi Province, as well as Wenzhou city in Zhejiang Province. A self - designed questionnaire on the emergency capabilities of shared nurses was utilized for data collection. Results This investigation encompassed the collection of 340 valid questionnaires, assessing the overall emergency response proficiency of shared nurses. The cumulative score amounted to (170.81±24.62), averaging (4.27±0.62). It is noteworthy that the dimension scoring the highest was preparedness (4.33±0.68), whereas the recovery capability dimension received the lowest score (4.17±0.75). Through multiple linear regression analysis, it was determined that marital status, participation in emergency capability training, and experience in home nursing services significantly influenced the emergency capabilities of shared nurses (P<0.05). Conclusion Shared nurses in China demonstrate a moderately high level of emergency response capability. The marital status, participation in emergency capacity training, and on-site nursing service experience are pivotal factors influencing the emergency capabilities of shared nurses. Nursing administrators should prioritize the development of emergency capacity training and team building for shared nurses, establishing a scientifically standardized mechanism for training, assessment, and management. The implementation of performance evaluation mechanisms for shared nurses is crucial to enhance professional awareness within the workforce.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Internet Plus Nursing Service (IPNS) is being instigated in all provincial-level regions throughout China, in which registered nurses (with more than five years of experience from qualified medical institutions) will provide services to those in their communities or homes after receiving online applications. The growing shortage of human resources in nursing is a critical issue for this project, so effective policies for recruiting and retaining nurses are critical. OBJECTIVE This study aims to pinpoint the significant job characteristics that play a crucial role in shaping the job decisions of sharing nurses in the IPNS program, and to estimate the strength of job attributes. METHODS A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was used to assess job attributes influencing sharing nurses' preferences. A qualitative design, including in-depth interview and focus interview methods, was conducted to determine the inclusion of attributes. The final included six attributes were: work modes, duration per visit, income per visit, personal safety, medical risk prevention, and refresher training. This study was conducted at 13 hospitals in Guangdong Province, China, from April to June 2022, and a total of 220 registered sharing nurses participated in the survey. The multinomial logit model explored attributes and relative valued utility. Preference heterogeneity is explored via latent class analysis (LCA) models. RESULTS A total of 220 participants answered the questionnaire. Income was the most influential characteristic of a sharing nursing position, followed by personal safety management, duration per visit, medical risk prevention, and refresher training, and nurses' preferences differed among different types of classes. CONCLUSIONS Sharing nurses place most value on income and personal safety with career-related decisions, which indicates an urgent need to develop complete security for personal safety. This study can be helpful to decision-makers in the Chinese government.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Home visits are an important part of home care. With increasing demand and the rapid development of information technology, an increasing number of regions are experimenting with the use of information technology in home visits, hoping to meet the needs of more patients through technological interventions. However, most of the current studies have focused on patient health improvement through home visits, neglecting to consider the actual experience of nurses as service providers in participating in Internet-based programs. Thus, the purpose of this research is to explore what is holding nurses back from participating after the Internet has been added to traditional home visiting programs. METHODS This research was designed with an exploratory-descriptive qualitative analysis method. Semistructured interviews were used to collect information on barriers to nurses' participation in the Internet-based home visiting program. Participants included 16 clinical nurses working in various hospitals in Nanjing, China. The thematic analysis method was used to analyze the information. RESULTS This research identified three themes and twelve subthemes that hinder clinical nurse engagement in the Internet-based home visiting program. The three themes included multiple barriers to individuals, different service modes, and emerging organizational problems. CONCLUSIONS As a new form of traditional home visiting program in information society, Internet-based home visiting has many shortcomings in the overall program design and service management specifications. For more patients living at home to receive quality care services, it is necessary to take more effective measures to encourage nurses' participation at three levels: nurse demand, service process, and organizational management.

Abstract
AIM In response to the ageing population and shortage of human resources for nursing care, China is piloting internet-based nursing services (nurses who provide this care are called online nurses). Nurses are the providers of this model, so it is important to understand their perceptions. We aim to explore nurses' perceptions of engaging in internet-based nursing services. DESIGN This study is descriptive qualitative research, so the data were analysed using a descriptive qualitative research method based on the theory of planned behaviour, using thematic analysis. METHODS With personal semi-structured interviews conducted by two Master of Science in Nursing with 18 online nurses and nine clinical nurses, terminated after information saturation. RESULTS Nurses' emotional attitudes towards internet-based nursing services were generally positive, but their behavioural intentions were negative. Social support, hospital organisational climate and family responsibilities had a statistically significant impact on nurses' behavioural decisions. Internet-based nursing services place higher demands on nurses' knowledge and skills, and nurses are most concerned with ensuring patient and nurse safety.

Abstract
Purpose The present study aimed to investigate nurses’ willingness and demand for Internet +home care services in different levels of hospitals in China and analyze the influencing factors. Participants and Methods From October 1 to December 31, 2021, 5714 nurses from 15 hospitals in five regions of China were recruited in this cross-sectional study using a two-stage random sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire with good reliability and validity was used to measure nurses’ willingness and demand for Internet +home care services. χ2 test, Welch t-test, and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results Nurses were highly willing to provide Internet +home care services. Statistical differences were found in the willingness to provide Internet +home care services and the preference for service distance, service platform, and single service fee between nurses in different levels of hospitals (both P<0.05). The willingness to provide “catheter maintenance service” and “rehabilitation nursing service” of nurses in different levels of hospitals were statistically significant (both P<0.05). Nurses’ demand for Internet +home care services increased with the level of their hospital. Multiple linear regression showed that professional title, educational level, monthly family income, and mortgage or car loan influence nurses’ demand for Internet +home care services. Conclusion Nurses’ willingness and demand for Internet +home care services vary with the level of their hospitals. It is recommended that government and hospitals regulate the service items, the service distance, single service fee, and other contents according to nurses’ willingness and demand and establish relevant laws and regulations to ensure the steady and orderly development of the Internet +home care services.

Abstract
Background With the aging of China’s population, the incidence rate of chronic diseases is rising. At the same time, residents’ health awareness is also increasing. Implementing Internet +home care is an inevitable trend in adapting social development. Currently, Internet +home care is in the pilot stage in China, relevant institutional measures are neither standardized nor perfect, and there is no set of quality supervision indicators (QSIs). Purpose The construction of Internet +home care QSIs in China will provide a theoretical basis for Internet +home care quality supervision. Materials and Methods The Service-Quality model was used as the theoretical framework, and a literature review, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and Delphi consultations determined the contents of the QSIs and the weight of each indicator. Results Internet +home care QSIs were constructed and included 5 first-level indicators, 17 secondary indicators, and 69 tertiary indicators. The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of Delphi expert consultation were 100% and 85%, the expert authority coefficients were 0.810 and 0.833, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.189 and 0.125 (P<0.01). The final set of Internet +home care QSIs was as follows: tangibility (4 secondary and 16 tertiary indicators), reliability (4 secondary and 19 tertiary indicators), guarantee (5 secondary and 20 tertiary indicators), responsiveness (2 secondary and 8 tertiary indicators), and empathy (2 secondary and 6 tertiary indicators). Conclusion The construction of Internet +home care QSIs based on the SERVQUAL model is scientifically valid, and the indicators are reliable. They provide guidance and reference values for the continuous improvement and promotion of Internet +home care. This work also provides a theoretical basis for researching and developing an Internet +home care quality supervision platform.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the willingness of Ganzhou residents to participate in “Internet + Nursing services” and analyse the relevant influencing factors. Methods From May to June 2021, 426 Ganzhou residents were surveyed using an Internet + Nursing services questionnaire and the relevant influencing factors were analysed. The questionnaire comprised two parts: demographic characteristic section and a questionnaire on residents’ willingness to participate in Internet + Nursing services including for dimensions (awareness, participation, trust and need), a 5-point Likert scale was used. Results A total of 397 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the total willingness of Ganzhou residents to participate in the service was derived as 11.59 ± 2.14. The results of multiple linear regression analyses showed that the presence of family members with a chronic disease or mobility difficulties, and an awareness and trust of Internet + Nursing services were influencing factors of residents’ participation willingness (P < 0.05). Conclusion The participation willingness of Ganzhou residents in Internet + Nursing services is modestly low, and the reasons for participation varied. It is suggested that the government and pilot hospitals strengthen the publicity surrounding these services, improve safety measures, strengthen team training, and develop products suitable for the elderly to increase residents’ participation willingness.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this work is to investigate nurses' perceptions of barriers constraining the implementation of the Internet Plus Nursing Service program. BACKGROUND The Internet Plus Nursing Service programme helps meet the demands of an ageing population, people with chronic diseases, the disabled, and home convalescents, and affirms the value of nurses. However, this programme has failed to elicit nurses' active participation, and there is limited knowledge regarding nurses' perceptions of the barriers to the programme's implementation. METHODS A qualitative study was conducted. Thematic analysis of the data was performed. RESULTS The analysis yielded three main themes: a sense of insecurity, role conflict, and a lack of support. CONCLUSION This study explores nurses' perspectives on the factors impeding the implementation of the programme, which are identified as being insufficient protection and support on nurses at personal, sociocultural, infrastructural, and organizationallevels. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT The study results will guide the department of nursing management to foster supportive work and social environment for nurses, which will decrease their feeling of insecurity and role conflicts and provides them enough infrastructural and organizational supports through proposing emergency code system and improving training system and team collaboration.

Abstract
Background Due to the increasingly ageing society and the shortage of nursing human resources in China, the imbalance between the home care needs of older patients and the inadequate supply of nursing services is increasing. Based on this medical situation, China is implementing internet-based home care (with the nurses who provide this care called online nurses or sharing nurses) based on the concept of the sharing economy, internet technology and knowledge from the home care experience in other countries. Internet-based home care follows an online application/offline service model. Patients place orders through an app, nurses grab orders instantly, and managers dispatch orders through a web platform based on various factors such as nurses’ qualifications, professionalism and distance from the patient. In this way, home care is provided for patients with limited mobility, such as older or disabled patients, patients in rehabilitation and terminal patients. Only by fully understanding the barriers to accessing internet-based home care can we provide quality nursing services to older patients and achieve the sustainable development of internet-based home care. Objective The goal of this study was to use qualitative methods to explore barriers to accessing internet-based home care for older patients. Methods Based on Levesque’s access to health care framework, semi-structured personal interviews were conducted with 19 older patients in a descriptive qualitative study using directed content analysis. Results We identified four barriers to accessing internet-based home care for older patients: barriers to perceiving, seeking, paying for, and engaging in internet-based home care. Specific barriers included traditional perceptions, barriers to internet use, high payment costs, uneven quality of services, and concerns about privacy and patient safety. Conclusions Internet-based home care brings new risks and challenges. In order to enable older patients to better enjoy it, it is necessary to strengthen publicity, optimize the network application process, improve the health insurance system, formulate unified nursing service standards, and address safety risks.
