Proactive huddles to reduce missed nursing care; the mediating roles of personal situational awareness and rational coordination: A cluster randomized pre post intervention study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Missed nursing care, defined as the failure to deliver essential patient care, has adverse effects on patients, nurses, and healthcare organizations. While efforts to reduce missed care exist, few interventions have been fully evaluated, and the mechanisms through which these interventions work remain poorly understood.

Objectives

This study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate proactive huddles as a process to reduce missed nursing care in hospital inpatient wards. Additionally, the study examined the mediating role of personal situational awareness (cognitive mechanism) and relational coordination (motivational mechanism) in the relationship between proactive huddles and missed care.

Design

A cluster-randomized pre-post intervention design.
