A A Development of Nursing Care Model for Sepsis Patients in the Medical Department

Abstract

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, underscoring the critical importance of an appropriate nursing care model for ensuring patient safety. This research and development initiative aimed to create and evaluate the outcomes of a nursing model tailored specifically for patients with sepsis. The process involved three key phases: 1) analyzing the situation and formulating the nursing care model, 2) developing and implementing the model, and 3) evaluating the outcomes. The research utilized a range of tools, including semi-structured interviews, patient outcome records, a sepsis knowledge test, practice compliance assessments, and satisfaction evaluations. It was conducted between October 2021 and May 2022, with data analyzed using both statistical methods and content analysis. The research findings revealed the following: 1) the developed nursing model encompasses, (1) a screening assessment system for early diagnosis and treatment, (2) nursing competency development, (3) nursing practice guideline development, and implementation, and (4) nursing supervision. 2) patient outcomes demonstrated a positive trend, with septic shock decreasing from 34.00% to 30.72%, and mortality rates decreasing from 28.00% to 26.00%, and 3) care process outcomes were equally encouraging nurses' knowledge significantly increased at the .05 level. Nurses consistently adhered to the nursing guidelines, with compliance rates ranging from 82.14% to 96.67%. The average satisfaction with the model was rated at the highest level (M = 4.52, SD = 0.59) across all areas. In conclusion, the research results indicated that the developed nursing model was effective and efficient in caring for patients with sepsis. Therefore, it was strongly recommended to continue using this model for ongoing patient care and to provide continuous support and utilization.
