This qualitative study explored family members' perceptions of nurses' caring behaviors. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 family members of moderately to severely injured trauma patients cared for at a level II trauma center. The dominant behavior identified as being caring was explaining what was going on and interpreting medical jargon. Appearing hurried and abrupt was noted as behavior that was not caring. In a highly stressful situation such as trauma, the interpersonal relationship the nurse develops with the family influences the perception of the care received.

Background And Aims: Ward-delivered non-invasive respiratory supports (NIRS) (conventional oxygen therapy (COT), high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV)), are often used to treat hospitalised patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) both in high acuity and general wards. This study aimed to describe the processes of care adopted and examine patient outcomes from a specialist, ward-delivered NIRS service caring for people with COVID-19 in general wards or in a respiratory care unit (RCU).

Methods: A cohort study was undertaken including all consecutive patients admitted to a quaternary hospital with ARF secondary to COVID-19 and requiring ward-delivered NIRS between 28 February 2020 and 18 March 2022.
