Measuring how well we meet the physical, psychological and social needs of patients and their carers within the last 48 hours of life. presented by Ann Wade and Sue Denison

INTRODUCTION IPU Review of nursing service 2008 prior to reviewing bed capacity. Our groups remit to measure the quality of care given by nursing team on the Inpatient Unit Any gaps in our care? How effective are we? (Assessment/planning/documentation) Sense of complacency? (previous positive patient/carer feedback) Desire to know the quality of our care in last 48 hours of life by asking carers Did we get it right?

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To discover carers views on the quality of nursing care given to patients in the last 48 hours of life in the In-patient Unit. To measure the standard of care given to patients and their carers at this time. To receive at least 20 responses

METHOD Questionnaire compiled – 13 questions, 11 of which were based on Essence of Care Benchmarks:- Communication (across all Benchmarks) Privacy & Dignity Safety Principles of self care Permission Slip given to all carers of all patients admitted over an 8 month period – option given to accept/decline to take part.

METHOD Records kept on spreadsheet to ensure audit trail of those accepting/declining to participate. Questionnaire sent to carer with SAE (to Administrator) 6 weeks after death of patient. Covering letter informing the carer of purpose of survey and reassuring them that no obligation to take part. Record kept on computer database detailing when sent and returned.

ISSUES SENSITIVITY /CONTROVERSY OF TOPIC Relatively untried method of discovering the quality of care given at end of life. Agreement obtained from local Ethics Committee. Consultations with Clinical Audit Support Group to ensure careful/appropriate wording of questions. Timing of questionnaire problematical – uncertainty about when would be the right time. Anonymity of questionnaires – patients unique computer number needed for audit purposes.

PROBLEMS MAINLY LOGISTICAL Main carer identified?/relationship ascertained?/correct address? (may not be the person who brought patient in) Patients preferred name given (to ensure inclusion on accompanying letter?) Permission slip given to carer – documenting when done Returned Permission slips going astray Not all patients details entered in Spreadsheet (for administrators use)

PROBLEMS Keeping nursing staff motivated to ensure survey continued Good communication essential Lots of encouragement! Some members of nursing staff felt it inappropriate to hand out permission slips on admission (especially when known terminal care) A few slips therefore not handed out

RESULTS Number of admissions in 8 month period = 154 Number of deaths = 66 Number not included (various reasons) = 36 Number of questionnaires sent out = 30 Number of responses = 23 (77%)

RESULTS – see questions Percentage of always responses Question:- 1 (Privacy & Dignity) = 100% 2 (Preferred name) = 91% 3 (Response time) = 91% 4 (Number of checks) = 96% 5 (Response to changes) = 91% 6 (Ability to discuss) = 100% 7 (Planning care) = 90%

RESULTS Percentage of always responses Question:- 8 (providing care) = 86% 9 (cultural/religious) = 71% 10 (communication) = 95% 11 (carers needs) = 100% 12 (timing) = 57% timing satisfactory 13 (comments) = 16 comments

CONCLUSIONS All carers were always able to discuss any changes with the nurses All carers felt that the nurses identified and attended to the patients needs sensitively All carers said that the nurses always respected the patients privacy and dignity Only 2 carers (9.5%) said they did not always feel involved in providing care

CONCLUSIONS 1 carer (4.5%) said that the patients cultural/spiritual/religious beliefs were not always respected (although they were most of the time) 57% said timing of questionnaire was satisfactory, 19% unsatisfactory and 24% unsure.

RECOMMENDATIONS Feedback to the IPU Nursing Staff where scope for improvement :- Identifying cultural/spiritual/religious beliefs Ensuring those carers who wanted to provide care were invited to do so. For future survey (possibly in 3 years time) Reconsider timing Improve logistics by having a daily co-ordinator tracking slips out and in tracking patient deaths and generating form for audit secretary
