Brief summary

Observational assessment through patient interviews of relational, structural and organisational aspects related to the humanisation of health care. These data will be related to health outcomes such as pain, sleep quality, anxiety levels, adverse events (pressure injuries, falls, and mortality), satisfaction with the care received, and experience in communication processes with health professionals. Data will also be collected on work ergonomics variables (stress, burnout, working conditions, ratios) of nurses and health technicians, which will also be related to the health outcomes collected.

Interventions

No intervention applied: data will only be collected in the indicated sampling periods from patients admitted to the participating hospitals.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Health outcomes12 monthsLevels obtained in the health outcomes identified as study variables: anxiety, measured with the Golberg scale; sleep quality, measured with the Athens Sleep Scale; frailty status, measured with the Tilburg Index; level of pain, measured with the Visual Analogue Pain Scale; level of care dependency, measured with the INICIARE scale; and the variables of mortality, falls, venous catheter infection and pressure injuries, which will be asked with items created ad-hoc. We will also study the association between the results obtained with the aforementioned scales and the variables of organisational context and structure of the centre: management leadership, measured with the Leadership Scale; nurse-patient relationship, measured with the NIC\_CA Scale; work stress, measured with the Nursing Stress Scale; work conditions, measured with the PES-NWI Scale; and the variables of turnover intention and nurse-patient ratio, measured with questions designed ad hoc.
Adverse events12 monthsDesign of a predictive model based on regression models of the occurrence of adverse events (falls, mortality, venous catheter infection pressure injuries, which will be asked with items created ad-hoc) and their relationship with the rest of the study variables (assessed with the scales used for outcome 1).
