Published: March 2022

Aim: District Nurses apply specialized nursing knowledge and assessment skills to provide care in New Zealand communities. This study aimed to identify whether District Nurse's (both Registered and supervised Enrolled Nurse's) had knowledge of, and used the 15-Minute Interview tool, including Ecomaps/Genograms, and if not, what they saw as enablers or barriers to doing so.

Design: Participatory action research was used, following the phases of look, think and act.

Methods: Two pre-intervention focus groups occurred, two education sessions which introduced the 15-Minute Interview and four postintervention interviews which explored the use of the tools and their potential use in the future.

Results: District Nurses demonstrated working with families, and the selection of when and where to apply the 15-Minute Interview.

Loss of muscle strength is usually assessed through clinical and performance outcome (PerfO) assessments, which consists of tasks performed in a standardized manner, providing evidence of a patient's functional ability. However, evidence documenting the patient experience of COPD and muscle weakness is limited.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored reasons why primary care practices declined to participate in quality improvement (QI) projects, revealing that staff turnover, staffing shortages, and time constraints largely influenced their decisions, especially worsened by the pandemic.
  • - Among the challenges mentioned by practices were issues with electronic health records, a desire for higher financial compensation, and confidence in their current practices, with suggestions to tie participation to value-based programs for future recruitment.
  • - The findings highlight the need for policymakers to focus on addressing staffing and time-related challenges to improve participation in QI projects and mitigate burnout in primary care settings.
