Background: Validated measures of ward nurses' safety cultures in relation to escalations of care in deteriorating patients are lacking.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Clinicians' Attitudes towards Responding and Escalating care of Deteriorating patients (CARED) scale for use among ward nurses.
Methods: The study was conducted in two phases: scale development and psychometric evaluation.
Background: The implementation of early warning scoring systems and medical emergency teams that aim to reduce failure to rescue in general wards is only effective if frontline nurses can recognize and act on clinical deterioration in a timely manner. While much of the research to date has primarily focused on registered nurses as recognizers of clinical deterioration, little research has sought to explore the role of enrolled nurses in recognizing clinical deterioration and to provide a big picture of how enrolled and registered nurses recognize clinical deterioration in general ward patients.
Objectives: To conduct an exploration of the experiences of enrolled and registered nurses in recognizing clinically deteriorating patients in general wards.
Background: Despite the widespread implementation of medical emergency teams (METs) in hospitals to provide immediate interventions to deteriorating ward patients, little is known about how junior doctors and nurses escalate care for deteriorating ward patients in hospitals with established MET services.
Objectives: The objective of this research study was to explore the experiences of junior doctors and nurses in escalating care for clinically deteriorating patients in general wards.
Methods: Twenty-four individual interviews were conducted with 10 junior doctors and 14 registered nurses of a 1000-bed acute general hospital with the most established MET service in Singapore.
