▼ Background: -Intensive care unit is a consilidated area which needs high quality of care and followup of patients with more sphisticated equipments.Assesment of satisfaction is one indicator to determine quality of care given for the patient.In the ICU patients are not in the condition to give their opinion about the care given for the patients.In the ICU patients are not in the condition to give their openion about the care;thereforeanassesment of family satisfaction in care of critically ill patient can be important indicator of quality of care in critical care unit. Objective of this study: - To assess the family satisfaction in care of critically ill patient in ICU of governmental hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Method: - Institutional based cross sectional quantitative study conducted in five hospitals in adult, neonatal and pediatric ICU found in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. The total sample size was 206 and allocated to each hospital ICU usng stratified sampling method.After pretest of questioner data was collected by interviwer administered structered questioner.The data was entered,cleaned and coded to Epi data 3.1 and transferred to SPSS version21.The discriptive analysis such as frequency distribution,percentage and measurment of central tendency was used.Bivariate and Multivariate analysis with alpha=0.05 performed to measureassociation of satisfaction by different variables. Result:- The overall satisfaction of families of patients were 62%.Their satisfaction by subsacles was, Assurance (52%) , information (41.6%), Proximity (67.3%), Support (71.3%), Comfort (41.6%).Age less than 25 by (AOR,0.218 ,95%CI0.057-0.835) and between 25 to 35 by (AOR 0.22,95%CI 0.062-0.797) and education level below grade eight by (AOR 3.1395%CI,1.16-8.43) associated with more odds of satisfaction.Families who consider the patient condition were worsening by (AOR 0.123 95%CI0.114-0.664) and families who doesnot know the current condition of patients by (AOR 0.123 95% CI 0.04-0.37) associted with Low odds of satisfaction. Conclusion: -The overall family satisfaction in governmental hospital ICUs was 62%. Family members were less satisfied on information and comfort. Recommendation:-health professionals hospital managers and all stake holders in the care giving system has to consider family centered care and work to improve quality of care in ICU. Key word: - family satisfaction, intensive care unit Advisors/Committee Members: YOHANNES AYALEW ( MSC) (advisor).

▼ Aim: To explore the organisational effectiveness and impact on patient and nurse outcomes of two alternative closed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) models in Australia. Background: Internationally the demand for critical care is increasing. Solely increasing bed capacity is not feasible due to high resource requirements and burgeoning costs. Consolidation of conventional ‘stand-alone’ ICUs into large multi-specialty integrated service models, the ICU ‘hot-floor’, is a preferred organisational strategy. Assumed benefits include improved patient throughput and resource utilisation, concentrated expertise and enhanced operational flexibility. The effect on patient and nurse outcomes however, is not well understood. Balancing efficiency and effectiveness is fundamental to high organisational reliability and sustainability. Design and method: This study compared a general ICU within a hot-floor service and a conventional general ICU with similar service level and workforce characteristics. Patient throughput measures and outcomes were retrospectively investigated in a sample of 1000 randomly selected patient records during 2013. In 2014, a sample of 145 clinical nurses, split between both units, completed a structured questionnaire that incorporated validated instruments to examine the work environment, satisfaction and burnout. Outcome measures: Patient mortality, unplanned extubation, catheter associated blood stream infections, pressure injury, venous thrombosis prophylaxis, length of stay, after-hours discharge and unplanned readmission, and unit level access, occupancy and volume were collected. The Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index and Maslach’s Burnout Inventory, along with supplementary questions on work perceptions, were used to collect nurse outcomes. Results: The hot-floor model achieved higher patient throughput and a lower after-hours discharge rate, with no significant differences in patient outcomes. Patients were however more exposed to the risk of an adverse event such as deep vein thrombosis due to lower compliance with routine clinical prophylaxis protocols. Front-line nursing management, education, clinical support and senior medical staff were shared across the hot-floor service, resulting in less dedicated resources allocated to the general ICU. Nurse manager support was less effective and nurses expressed lower personal accomplishment. High patient turnover and paid overtime compounded nurse workload, though greater internal hot-floor operational flexibility reduced nurse redeployment to external wards. Conclusion: Improved demand management achieved through greater operational flexibility is a key driver for the hot-floor model. Efficiency gains need to account for the work environment to optimise nurse outcomes, reduce turnover and mitigate patient risks. Adequately resourced front-line nursing management and education are required for high organisational reliability and long-term sustainability.

▼ Risk factors for delirium were studied, an overview of long-term cognitive impairment and mental health problems after ICU stay was given, and the association between intensive care unit (ICU) delirium and long-term cognitive impairment, as well as mental health problems, was explored. In part I of the thesis, we searched for etiological risk factors for delirium during critical illness. Psychopathology prior to hospital admission did increase the risk of developing a delirium during critical illness. No association between exposure to anticholinergic medication and delirium could be demonstrated, neither a significant effect of age or inflammation on this association was present. Yet, age and the presence of inflammation were both individually independent risk factors for transitioning to delirium. Subsequently, no association between corticosteroid exposure and the occurrence of delirium could be demonstrated. Part II of the thesis assessed the occurrence of long-term brain dysfunction after critical illness and evaluated the association with ICU delirium and this long-term dysfunction. A systematic review showed that a substantial number of patients experience cognitive problems after critical illness, although a wide range was reported (4–62%) and follow-up duration was diverse (2–156 months). Elaborating on these cognitive problems after ICU stay, we evaluated the association with delirium during ICU stay. An association between (multiple days of) ICU delirium and long-term self-reported cognitive problems was found in one year ICU survivors. Since systemic inflammation is both a risk factor for delirium during ICU stay, and for long-term cognitive problems, a mediation analysis was conducted to explore the potential mediating effect of exposure to systemic inflammation in the association between ICU delirium and long-term cognitive problems. No mediating effect was found, suggesting that the effect of ICU delirium on long-term cognitive problems was not merely driven by the exposure to systemic inflammation. Additionally whether delirium was associated with long-term mortality and worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was evaluated. After adjustment for confounding, the association between ICU delirium and these outcomes did not remain, which showed that ICU delirium itself might not be etiologically related to these long-term outcomes. The occurrence of symptoms of the postintensive care syndrome, with a focus on symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), three months after critical illness in patients and their families visiting an outpatient clinic was described. A substantial number of family members of former ICU patients seem to have mental health problems. Also a lot of former ICU patients experience mental health problems, three months after ICU discharge. The association between delirium during ICU stay and symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD was assessed one year after ICU stay. High frequencies of symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD in former ICU… Advisors/Committee Members: Dijk, D. van, Slooter, A.J.C., Veldhuijzen, D.S..

▼ In recent years, it has become clear that many ex-patients and their families suffer from new or worse health problems after discharge from an intensive care unit. These problems, which are the result of a traumatic experience at the intensive care, are grouped under the diagnosis post intensive care syndrome (PICS). This research focuses on the mental health issues of this syndrome among pediatric patients and their parents. Evidence shows that the experience of children and their parents at the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) may impact their chances of developing mental problems afterwards. The research objective of this project is therefore defined as “how can design be used to improve the user experience of children and their parents at the pediatric intensive care unit in such a way that it reduces their chances of developing post-intensive care syndrome?”. Analyzed is how experience at the PICU can influence the risk factors known for developing PICS. The defined important factors were for the parents a lack of involvement and lack of confidence, for the patients a lack of a secure feeling and an overall lack of the feeling of closeness. It is argued that by improving these factors, parts of the risk factors of mental problems are avoided and therefore the chances of developing mental health problems decreases. It is analyzed how these factors can be improved by design. It was found that the feelings of closeness and security could be strengthened by providing a daily special ritual which children could do together with their parents. Furthermore, guiding the parents in what to do during such a ritual increases their feeling of being in control, which improves their confidence. Specifically, the bedtime moment was chosen as a focus because this often is the last moment of the day the children spend with their parents which means that it can evoke many negative feelings. These aspects are incorporated in a design called “Sparkling Moments”. This design uses projection in the room to change the environment and create a special moment for parent and child together. By adding different triggers during the day, parents are able to prepare this moment for their child by bringing objects and asking questions, increasing their feeling of confidence. Moreover, these triggers are bringing an aura of positivity to the normal intensive care situation. Furthermore, by being visible through the netting of the curtain, caregivers are made aware the moment is happening. This can make them wait a moment, ensuring patient and parents are not disturbed and perceive the moment as safe; nothing bad will happen at that time. The usage of the projector and its ability to create a moment for parent and child was evaluated by user tests and hospital evaluation. As expected, an imitate and cozy atmosphere was created with the projection, allowing parent and child to feel much closer to each other. Moreover, the free and open character of the design was perceived very well. Furthermore, caregivers… Advisors/Committee Members: Ozcan Vieira, Elif (mentor), Sonneveld, Marieke (mentor), Honig-Mazer, Petra (mentor), Ista, Erwin (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Background: The education of trainees in the intensive care unit (ICU) is extremely challenging due to factors related to the ICU environment, ICU trainees and physicians, ICU subspecialty training, and safety and quality of care delivered to critically ill patients. There is a lack of standardized educational curricula and instructional methods for teaching in the ICU. The teaching practices, the learning climate, the instructional methods, and obstacles to learning and teaching in the ICU have not been evaluated. Purpose: The main aim of this study was to evaluate the teaching practices, the learning climate, the ICU environment, the preferred instructional methods, and obstacles to learning and teaching in the ICU from the perspectives of learners (trainees) and teachers (physicians). Methods: A survey was conducted using the Maastricht clinical teaching questionnaire and supplementary questions in a medical school in South Texas. Data were collected from ICU learners and teachers and were analyzed using ANOVA and multiple comparison procedures. Results: Learners rated the teaching practices and learning climate in the ICU significantly lower than teachers in all categories of the Maastricht clinical teaching questionnaire. Learners and teachers recognized the ICU environment as ideal to learn and teach complex clinical cases and to enhance procedural skills. Most teachers indicated bedside teaching and case-based learning as the preferred instructional methods while learners indicated a combination of methods as the preferred instructional strategy in the ICU. The main obstacle for learners was unclear expectations and objectives of the ICU rotation. The main obstacle for teachers was not enough time for teaching. Conclusion: A disparity of perceptions existed between ICU trainees and physicians regarding the teaching practices and learning climate in the ICU. The preferred instructional methods for trainees are to use different instructional strategies. The ICU environment has many challenges for learners and teachers.

▼ The overuse of antibiotics is a large problem in healthcare today, accelerating the development of microbial resistance to antibiotics. Antibiotic stewardship campaigns have been implemented to help clinicians curb their use. Procalcitonin is a serum peptide and marker of inflammation secreted in response to microbial toxins. For this reason it is more specific to bacterial infections than other markers of general inflammation , like Creactive protein. The population of patients with sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit is one in which extended durations of antibiotics are used. The FDA has approved use of procalcitonin to guide de-escalation of antibiotic therapy in critically ill patients with sepsis to avoid both antibiotic overuse and antibiotic related side effects. Review of current literature shows that procalcitonin is efficacious in reducing duration of antibiotic therapy in patients with sepsis in the ICU setting. This result, however, is not being observed in clinical practice. This discrepancy is due to the inappropriate use of procalcitonin that does not align with use outlined in randomized control trials. We propose a study to determine how procalcitonin is being used in clinical practice in four Boston area hospital Intensive Care Units. Through chart review, we will identify patients in the Intensive Care Unit with sepsis from 2013-2018 recording patient demographic information and patient characteristics. We will determine whether they had PCT measured during their stay, and if they did, whether or not discontinuation of antibiotics was in accordance with FDA’s proposed algorithm. We will aim to compare whether discontinuing antibiotic therapy in accordance with the FDA’s procalcitonin deescalation algorithm is associated with reduced duration of antibiotic therapy or incidence of Clostridium Difficile infection. In conducting this study, we hope to identify patterns of procalcitonin use in clinical practice and provide further evidence that using the algorithm to guide therapy can serve as an effective tool in reducing exposure to unnecessary antibiotics and the complications from their use.

▼ Samenvatting Introductie: De meest effectieve strategie om nosocomiale infecties te voorkomen is handhygiëne. Multidisciplinaire strategieën hebben een positief resultaat aangetoond op de toepassing van handhygiëne. Doel: Het meten (i) van de toepassing van handhygiëne en (ii) het effect van een interventie op de handhygiëne door verpleegkundigen en artsen, werkend op een level II neonatale unit van een kinderziekenhuis in Nederland. Onderzoeksvragen: Wat is het effect van een interventie die handhygiëne promoot op de toepassing van handhygiëne door verpleegkundigen en artsen werkend op een level II neonatale unit van een kinderziekenhuis in Nederland? Wat is de invloed van het bewustzijn van observaties op de handhygiëne? Methode: Voor en na de interventie zijn 39 verpleegkundigen en drie artsen geobserveerd op de toepassing van handhygiëne. De interventie omvatte (i) een vragenlijst, (ii) posters die de handhygiëne promoten en (iii) een les met theorie en praktijk. Data werden middels een observatie- en vragenlijst verzameld. Voor de data-analyse zijn beschrijvende statistiek, een odds ratio, de Wilcoxon signed-rank toets, de Mann Whitney toets, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient en Chi kwadraat gebruikt. Resultaten: De toepassing van handhygiëne veranderde van 34,8% naar 36,2% (p=0,78). In beide observatieperiodes was de toepassing van handhygiëne hoger bij medewerkers die zich bewust waren van de observaties. Na de interventiewas dit significant (p=0,03). Conclusie: De interventie had geen significant effect op de toepassing van handhygiëne. Bewustzijn van de observatie door een collega van buiten het zorgteam resulteerde in een hogere toepassing van handhygiëne. Aanbeveling: In het design van een toekomstig onderzoek zou men rekening moeten houden met de invloed van het type observeerder op het bewustzijn en de handhygiëne. Trefwoorden Handhygiëne, interventie, observatie, neonatale intensive care unit. Advisors/Committee Members: Gamel, C.J., Brus, F..

▼ Severe sepsis and septic shock are characterized by a rising incidence and a persistent high mortality rate. Today, many patients survive the early “pro- inflammatory” phase of the disease and will die in the later course of sepsis as a consequence of severe secondary/ nosocomial infections. As a response to initially elevated levels of “pro-inflammatory” mediators, a compensatory “hypo-responsive“ immunological phase characterized by compromised cellular immune functions can often be observed. Nevertheless, although the underlying molecular mechanisms of sepsis-induced immunosupression are not completely understood, experimental data indicate that a state of defective cellular immunity prevents a target-oriented anti-microbial defense. Here, two different clinical approaches to reconstitute monocytic immune function were developed and tested in clinical trials. Reconstitution of monocytic immune function was achieved by means of immunostimulation (GM-CSF) as well as by extracorporeal removal of inhibitory factors (using LPS-, IL-6, C5a- Immunoadsorption). For the first time, we performed an immune-monitoring guided randomized placebo-controlled trial in sepsis and were able to demonstrate that immunostimulation using GM-CSF restores monocytic immunity (as defined by assessment of the monocytic HLA-DR expression and ex vivo monocytic cytokine release). Moreover, GM-CSF reduces the activity of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and thus reduces serum levels of kynurenines. As kynurenines are critically involved in immune cell apoptosis, reduction of kynurenines could contribute to a diminished susceptibility to infection. In addition, we could demonstrate that adjunctive therapy with GM- CSF significantly shortens the time of mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. As the respective trial was not powered to assess clinical endpoints, a larger trial which investigates a potential impact on mortality is currently started. As an alternative to immunostimulation, reconstitution of monocytic immunity may also be achieved by extracorporeal removal of inhibitory factors. For the first time, we developed and tested a simultaneous and selective (antibody-based) extracorporeal immune intervention in patients with severe sepsis/ septic shock. Data from our pilot trial on LPS-, IL6- and C5a- immunoadsorption show that selective simultaneous extracorporeal removal of LPS, IL6 and C5a significantly restores initially suppressed levels of monocytic HLA-DR. A beneficial impact on the clinical course of respective patients receiving the intervention was observed. Whether such a therapy influences clinical endpoints in patients with sepsis is now investigated in larger follow-up trials.

Este estudo teve como objeto de investigação, as práticas de cuidado da enfermeira em unidades de terapia intensiva, e teve como objetivos: descrever e analisar as práticas de cuidado da enfermeira às pessoas hospitalizadas em unidades de terapia intensiva. Foi um estudo de natureza qualitativa, do tipo analítico e descritivo, cujos sujeitos foram enfermeiras que atuam na assistência direta, numa unidade de terapia intensiva adulto de um hospital de grande porte, da cidade de Salvador-BA. Utilizou-se a técnica da entrevista semi-estruturada, gravada, e a observação não participativa da atuação das enfermeiras, em suas práticas na UTI; através de um roteiro de observação e um diário de campo. O método de análise de dados foi a Análise de Conteúdo temática de Laurence Bardin. Totalizaram 10 (dez) participantes desta investigação. Do material que foi analisado surgiu 3 (três) categorias: 1) concepção do cuidar assistencial; 2) Concepção do cuidar relacional; 3) Entendimento de práticas de cuidado como ações de enfermagem. Foi possível concluir que a compreensão sobre o que é cuidar e o que são práticas de cuidado para o grupo estudado não é uniforme e que a vigência de uma concepção de cuidar mais assistencial e, de práticas de cuidado menos humanizadora é um fenômeno multicausal. As enfermeiras do grupo estudado referem importar-se com as questões relativas à proximidade pessoa-pessoa, da alteridade e da compaixão, mas em suas práticas de cuidado predominam ações técnicas e rotineiras. A maneira como as enfermeiras cuidam das pessoas internadas numa UTI é mais técnica caracterizada pelo distanciamento e relacionamento interpessoal superficial. É preciso considerar aspectos como o modelo biomédico de assistência à saúde vigente mais focado na produtividade, o ambiente de uma terapia intensiva com a iminência de eventos súbitos com risco de morte, a multiplicidade de vínculos empregatícios que gera cansaço físico, mental e pouca disposição à interação com o outro, dentre outros fatores que interferem na maneira como as enfermeiras concebem o cuidar e executam suas práticas de cuidado.

▼ Palliative care (PC) is a specialty that improves the quality of care often for terminally ill patients and their family members by providing physical, psychosocial, and spiritual pain and symptom management. PC assists patients in decision making about their goals of care. These goals of care discussions help the treating physicians to better plan more appropriate treatment options specifically tailored for each patient based on their preferences. Due to the illness severity of the patients, approximately 20% of all hospital deaths occur in the intensive care unit (ICU). Recognition of and advocacy for integrating PC in the ICU have increased in the last decade following many studies which have shown the positive effects of PC for critically ill patients and their family members. This was a single-center retrospective study conducted at an academic hospital that examined the effects of a proactive PC intervention and the clinical outcomes on patients who died in the medical and neurological ICUs (MICU and NICU), since the majority of ICU deaths occurred in these two units. This study was a quality improvement project that examined only patients who died, in order to make a similar comparison between patients who ultimately had the same clinical outcome. This pre-intervention (phase 1) and post-intervention three phase analysis measured the effectiveness of a screening tool (phase 2), and a daily ICU huddle (phase 3) compared to the pre-intervention phase. The study analyzed the impact the interventions had on clinical measurable outcomes such as 1) day of PC consultation after ICU admission and after meeting criteria, 2) day of meeting criteria for PC based on a screening tool, 3) hospital and ICU lengths of stay, 4) direct cost per discharge, and 5) the average number of PC consultations per month. Electronic database review of all MICU and NICU patients who died from July 2010 to December 2011 and April 2013 to October 2014 were performed. Comparisons were made between patients who received a PC consultation and those who received usual care, from both pre-intervention and post-intervention phases. A total of 888 patients were included and analyzed in this study. The intervention reduced the average day of PC consultation after ICU admission from 9.55 in phase 1 to 4.95 in phase 2 and to 4.75 in phase 3 after the addition of the daily huddle. The average day of PC consultation after meeting criteria in the ICU was also reduced from 8.0 to 3.08 then to 2.18, respectively. The average number of PC consultations per month increased from 10.6 to 12.8 to 17.7 in the three respective phases. The cost per discharge was not significantly different from patients who received a PC consultation and for patients who received usual care. PC service did not reduce the length of stay for patients when compared to patients who received usual care. The sensitivity and specificity of the screening tool in phase 2 were 66.2% and 70.8%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the screening tool with daily huddle in…

Introduktion: Patientens upplevelser från intensivvårdsavdelningen kan ge upphov till stress som orsakas av flera faktorer. Detta kan påverka patienten lång tid efter utskrivningen. Det är därför viktigt att veta vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder på intensivvårdsavdelningen som stödjer patientens återhämtning. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva intensivvårdssjuksköterskors uppfattningar av preventiva omvårdnadsåtgärder på intensivvårdsavdelningen som kan vara stödjande för patientens återhämtning. Metod: En kvalitativ metod valdes och datainsamling skedde i form av nio intervjuer med intensivvårdssjuksköterskor, med erfarenhet av uppföljningsarbete, på tre olika sjukhus. Analys av insamlat material, skedde med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Graneheim och Lundman. Huvudresultat: I resultatet framkom fyra huvudkategorier som beskriver områden för preventiva omvårdnadsåtgärder: Skapa meningsfullhet, Förklara omvärlden, Skapa trygghet och Förbered framtiden. Konklusion: Studiens resultat visar att kunskap om patientens historia kan användas som grund för att knyta an till patientens vardagsliv. Struktur, förklaringar och råd från personalen har uppfattats stödja patientens omvärldsuppfattning på IVA. Trygghet och närhet från personal och anhöriga anses viktigt för patienten. Framförallt har stöd till patientens inre resurser och anpassande av miljön genom nedtrappad övervakning, uppfattats kunna bidra till att patienten återfår sin självständighet och bättre kan hantera framtiden.

Introduction: A patient´s experiences during intensive care can lead to stress that is caused by several factors. This can affect the patient long after discharge. Therefore, it is essential to know which nursing interventions in the intensive care unit, that best support the patient's recovery. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the intensive care nurses' perceptions of preventive care measures in the intensive care that can be supporting for the patient's recovery. Method: A qualitative method was chosen and the data collection was done by interviewing nine intensive care nurses with experience in monitoring work at three different hospitals. The collected material was analyzed in accordance with Graneheim and Lundman´s qualitative content analysis. Main Results: The results revealed four main categories in which preventive care measures are especially useful: Creating meaning, Explaining the environment, Creating safety and Preparing for the Future. Conclusion: By gaining knowledge about what is relevant to each particular patient it is possible to adapt care measures based on this. It seems that structure, detailed explanations and advice provided by the staff will help the patient to better assess his/her situation. Being close to staff and family is comforting for the patient. It…

▼ ABSTRACT Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe and evaluate patients’, who were cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU), experiences and effects concerning a cycled lighting intervention based on health, wellbeing and recovery. Methods: An automatically controlled cycled lighting intervention aimed to mimic natural light levels, quality and position throughout the day was evaluated. An ordinary lit room was used as a control. A multiple-method approach was used. In study I, there were three aspects: a systematic review of the previous research concerning cycled lighting interventions in the intensive care; visitor evaluations of the lighting environments in the intervention and ordinary room; and measurements of illuminance, luminance and irradiance in both conditions. In study II, the patients evaluated the lighting environment in the two rooms. Data were compared and analysed. Furthermore, patients’ experiences regarding the cycled lighting environment were investigated through qualitative interviews, which were subsequently analysed by content analysis. In study III, patients’ sleep, activity and physiological parameters were measured and compared. Study IV consisted of statistical analysis of a questionnaire concerning patients’ self-reported recovery six and 12 months after their ICU treatments. Results: The literature review on cycled lighting interventions in adult ICUs was rare but more common in the neonatal ICU (NICU). Findings showed that cycled lighting interventions improved health in preterm infants, but there were also non-significant results reported. The visitors reported the cycled lighting environment as more pleasant, and based on measurements, the lighting levels were at equivalent levels with European recommendations for hospitals. The lighting levels in the ordinary room were manually controlled and were reported as being either too low or too bright during the daytime. Patients evaluated the cycled lighting environment as brighter in daytime, and this was in coherence with the results from the measurements of illumination. Patients’ individual experiences concerning the cycled lighting environment were reported in four categories: a dynamic lighting environment, the impact of lighting on patients’ sleep, the impact of light/lighting on the circadian rhythm and the degree to which the lighting calmed them. Patients’ circadian rhythms were not further strengthened by the cycled lighting intervention during their final 24-period in the ICU. Twelve months after their ICU treatments, patients cared for in the intervention environment self-reported their recovery as significantly better than those who received treatment in the ordinary room. Conclusions: A multiple methodology was used to explore the research field from a wider perspective. Combining knowledge from both the lighting research field and caring science has brought new knowledge to both and especially to the practice of nursing. Despite their severe illnesses or injuries, patients were able to assess their experiences…

▼ The Utrecht University Clinic for Companion Animals (UCCA) provides high standard veterinary care. However, it is difficult for pet owners to assess the quality of the care provided objectively. The UCCA therefore would like the owners to at least have the sense that the given veterinary care is of high quality, by providing the pet owners with good services. The intensive care unit (ICU) in particular wants to know if their given care is assessed as high quality by pet owners and if there are any areas for improvement. For this reason a written customer satisfaction survey was carried out. The emphasis was on the contact points between pet owner and veterinarian. Of the 322 approached pet owners, 215 people (66,8%) completed the survey. The results show that most aspects of the services provided to the owners are appreciated as good to very good. Considering the UCCA as a whole, these scores were given to the treatment of the pet as well as the owner, the accessibility and the time spend waiting. For the ICU specifically, these scores were given for animal handling, the quality of the given medical care, provided services to the owner, invested personal time of the veterinarian towards the owner and patient, treatment of pets around death, instructions for aftercare, the organisation of discharge, emotional support and the written information given at registration. There were some aspects which scored impartial to good, including the costs for care provided by the UCCA as a whole. For the ICU in particular this score was given to the costs and costs estimation in advance, the visit options and the emotional support of an owner during death of a pet. As high as 90,7% of all owners noted that their satisfaction towards the ICU was good to very good. Owners seemed not to be able to separately assess both the UCCA as a whole and the ICU in particular. One option the ICU has in mind to improve services to owners in the future, is to place webcams above animal pens. This idea is well received by most of the owners. Furthermore there is room for improvement by clear and consistent communication regarding costs and visit options. Although owners were satisfied with the instructions concerning aftercare, there is a need for more written instructions. Last but not least motivating owners to get health insurance for their pets can improve the way pet owners experience value for money. Advisors/Committee Members: Robben, J.H., Endenburg, N..

▼ Medical error causes preventable death in nearly 100,000 patients per year in the US alone. Common sources for error include medication related problems, technical equipment failure, interruptions, complicated and error-prone devices, information overload (providing too much patient data for one person to process effectively), and environmental problems like inadequate lighting or distracting ambient noise. Intensive care units are one of the riskiest locations in a hospital, with up to 9 reported events per 100 patient days. This risk is in large contrast to anesthesia in the operating rooms. Here much advancement in the area of patient safety has been made in the past, dropping the average risk for anesthesia related death to less than 1 in 200,000 anesthetics—an improvement by a factor of 20 in the past 30 years. Improvements in technology and other innovations contributing to this success now need to be adapted for and implemented in the intensive care unit setting. Nurses are increasingly regarded as key decision makers within the healthcare team, as they outnumber physicians 4:1. Reducing nurses’ workload and improving medical decision making by providing decision support tools can have a significant impact in reducing the chances of medical errors. This dissertation consists of four manuscripts: 1) a review of previous medical display evaluations, providing insight into solutions that have worked in the past; 2) a study on reducing false alarms and increasing the usefulness of the remaining alarms by introducing alarm delays and detecting alarm context;, such as suctioning automatically silencing ventilator alarms; 3) a study of simplifying the frequent but complicated task of titrating vasoactive medications by providing a titration support tool that predicts blood pressure changes 5 minutes into the future; and 4) a study on supporting the triage of unfamiliar patients by introducing a far-view display that incorporates information from previously disparate devices and presents trend and alarm information at one easy to scan and interpret location.

▼ Delirium is a common neuropsychiatric syndrome in critically ill patients, characterized by a disturbance in attention and cognition. Delirium is not an inevitable consequence of critical illness itself, however, it is associated with poor patient outcomes such as an increased ICU length of stay and cognitive impairment one year after ICU discharge. It is believed that delirium is caused by an interplay between predisposing factors that make a patient more susceptible to develop delirium (for example higher age), and noxious insults that can provoke delirium (such as infection, medication or trauma). As delirium imposes a significant burden on patients, their relatives, health care professionals and health care systems, the factors that can be modified for possible prevention of delirium are of special interest. In this thesis some of these modifiable risk factors are determined. In 1112 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of the University medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) delirium was common with an incidence of 48%. In 43% of the delirious patients delirium occurred only once during their ICU admission for a period of one day. In this thesis it was shown that a higher anticholinergic drug exposure at ICU admission affected the onset of delirium during ICU stay with a subdistribution hazard ratio of 1.35 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.09-1.68). Benzodiazepines are frequently used in critically ill patients for patient comfort and safety. The administration of as little as 5 mg benzodiazepines (in midazolam equivalents) in non-comatose, non-delirious patient was associated with the development of delirium the next day (odds ratio 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.05). In a before-after study the onset and duration of delirium in a ward-like ICU environment was compared toa newly build ICU with all single-rooms and, among other interventions, an increased exposure to natural daylight. Although patients had a similar risk of developing delirium in the single-room ICU, the number of days that patients suffered from a delirium decreased with 0.4 (955 CI: 0.1-0.7) days. Earlier findings show an increased ICU mortality with the development of delirium while adjusting for the disease severity at ICU admission. In this thesis we additionally adjusted for the evolution of disease severity after ICU admission and for competing events of developing delirium (i.e. ICU discharge and death as they both preclude the development of delirium during ICU admission). Doing so, delirium did not attribute to death during ICU admission. However, patients with delirium were less likely to be discharged, exposing them, on average, for longer period of time to the ICU with an everyday risk of dying. When specifying prolonged delirium (two or more days) this prolonged delirium did have an association with increased ICU mortality. Advisors/Committee Members: Dijk, D. van, Slooter, A.J.C..

▼ Background: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the best practices for effective communication among healthcare professionals in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) setting. Through the use of focus groups among the nursing staff and interviews with physicians, researchers gained insight into the current communication practices used in the NICU. Furthermore, several suggestions were made by both the nursing staff and the physicians that can be applied in the future to improve health communication. With this information, this study can provide valid evidence of what methods of communication work and also certain ways to improve the areas that need improvement. A thorough literature review was conducted to assess the current studies regarding health communication in various medical environments. The review was subdivided into various sections that include previous NICU interventions, and health communication among physicians and nurses. Although the primary focus of this study is health communication between physicians and nurses, it is important to also examine the communication methods between the medical providers and the parents in the NICU. The children admitted to the NICU of hospitals are high risk patients and thus the health information must be properly transferred between the parents, physicians and nurses in order to administer the best possible care for the children. Methods: Two focus groups with parents, 2 focus groups with nurses, and 3 individual interviews with 3 physicians were conducted to recognize gaps and to understand their current strategies used for effective health communication between nurses and providers, among nurses, among physicians, and between providers and parents. Each participant was asked to fill out a demographic survey that provided basic information about the participants (APPENDIX 6). A table will be created with the demographic information for the nurses and physicians. Trained moderators guided the discussion using a set of questions. The recordings of the discussion were transcribed verbatim by the online service Transcribeme.com. The transcripts were analyzed using grounded theory techniques. The focus group questions concentrated on how to effectively communicate with parents, nurses, and physicians. It was important to gain insight on the effectiveness of these current strategies used because based on these results, a viable communication tool will be developed for future use by nurses and physicians within a NICU to address the findings from this pilot study.

▼ This study aims to understand the feelings of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) that experienced a change of shift at the bedside. The change of shift is one of the routines used by nursing in their work process and of great significance for the patient; therefore, deserves careful analysis in seeking to perfect themselves for the improvement of nursing care. It is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach. The collection of information was performed using semi-structured interview, in August and September of 2011, after authorization from the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, as opinion 290/2011. The analysis, based on interviews of patients, took the humanization as the thread of investigation backed by authors who deal on the subject and the theory of the gift of Marcel Mauss that sits on drug give-receive-return. The results indicate that the change of shift at the bedside but has not configured, the content of the speech of patients interviewed, as a moment that has generated fear and anxiety, could be deduced by the expression of silence, tears and other signs during interviews, how hard it is to live this experience. Nevertheless, despite this apparent tranquility, revealed uncertainty and apprehension face the speech of professional, during the visit at the bedside, particularly when referring to their health and their neighbors. On the other hand, the indifference to the participation of the patient at the time of the visit, expressing an attitude of merely technical nature, dehumanizes the act of taking care, the essence of nursing. And, for all the patients that we understand, about the visit to the bedside, as well as the ICU, we can infer that there is suffering for them. However, we understand your feelings and revelations seeking support in the theory of Mauss's gift: the patient receives the gift (care), and imbued with a feeling of gratitude, the rewards in the form of compliments and courtesies. Precisely for this reason, we need to sharpen our sensitivity to deal about the human condition in all its vulnerability.
