Nurses' experiences with continuous vital sign monitoring on the general surgical ward: a qualitative study based on the Behaviour Change Wheel.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To support early recognition of clinical deterioration on a general ward continuous vital signs monitoring (CMVS) systems using wearable devices are increasingly being investigated. Although nurses play a crucial role in successful implementation, reported nurse adoption and acceptance scores vary significantly. In-depth insight into the perspectives of nurses regarding CMVS is lacking. To this end, we applied a theoretical approach for behaviour change derived from the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW).

Aim

To provide insight in the capability, opportunity and motivation of nurses working with CMVS, in order to inform future implementation efforts.

Methods

A qualitative study was conducted, including twelve nurses of a surgical ward in a tertiary teaching hospi
