Aim: The primary aim of this study was to compare differences, if any, in missed infection prevention and control (IPC) activities before and after the pandemic, along with the related predictors. The secondary aim was to identify relationships between missed IPC activities and unfinished nursing care.
Methods: A repeated cross-sectional design was conducted in 2019 (pre-pandemic, 184 nurses) and 2024 (post-pandemic, 240 nurses) in a large academic hospital following the Checklist for Reporting of Survey Studies guidelines.
Aims: The aim of this study is to reliably estimate why midwifery care is missed and to crystallize those factors that have causal links to it.
Background: Studies involving the incidences and types of missed midwifery care are sparsely described. The rationales behind these deficits in care are even less well researched.
Aim: First, to identify which aspects of missed care accurately define the integration of care and context of care dimensions of the Fundamentals of Care Framework. Second, to test the Framework for validity and reliability and lastly, to explore how leadership influences care integration.
Design: A non-experimental research design using self-audit data collected information about variations in nursing care as exemplars for dimensions of the Framework.
Aims: This study quantifies the types and frequencies of missed care identified by nurses and measures its impact on their capacity to demonstrate mandatory practice standards as future hospital staff.
Background: Considerable literature exists as to the nature of missed care but there is a paucity of findings about how missed care impacts on learning firstly as a student and then as a graduate nurse employed in a hospital setting. Additionally, there is little emphasis as to how staff development for nurses exposed to missed care may be implemented.
Background And Purpose: Only a limited number of items involved in missed nursing care inventories specifically focused on infection control practices. The study aimed to adapt and evaluate psychometric properties of the Czech and Slovak version of the Infection Control Missed Care survey; and to assess and compare the amount, type,and reasons for missed nursing care in infection prevention and control amongCzech and Slovak nurses.
Methods: The convenience sample of 1459 nurses from the Czechand Slovak republic was recruited.
