Background: After a pilot phase in 2017, nursing visits (PV) were implemented in an intensive care unit (ICU) at a university hospital. So far, published findings on the impact of PV on the primary nursing organisation system (process-responsible nursing [PP]) could not be identified.

Aim: Primary aim was to investigate the effects of PV on PP from the nurses perspective. Secondary aims included comparison with the results of the pilot phase (t) to determine further effects, general conditions of the PP and the overall evaluation.

Methods: A quantitative evaluation study using a standardised questionnaire was used.

Results: The survey was conducted in September to October 2023 (t) with a response rate of 74.6% (n = 47). On a scale of 1-6 (strongly agree; strongly disagree), 100.0% of the process-responsible nurses (PP; n = 8) and 77.0% of the nurses without process responsibility (P; n = 30) rated the PV at levels 1-3 (p = 0.328) as contributing to the evaluation of care planning for patients with process responsibility. PV provided support for the implementation of PP (PP: 100.0%, n = 8; P: 79.5%, n = 31; p = 0.318) and had a statistically significant effect (r = 0.97, p = 0.035) on improving the quality of care and care planning for patients with procedural responsibility. The nurses indicated with levels 1-3 that the patients were more consciously brought into the focus of nursing care through the PV (t: 74.4%, n = 35; t0: 86.4%, n = 38; p = 0.953). The PV should take place weekly and was rated with a median of 2 (IQR t: 1-3; t:1-2).

Conclusion: PV support the implementation of PP and patient-centred care in the ICU.
