Introduction :
With a large influx of green-graduated nurses and complex bedside procedures in RTSKH ICU, a one-page Digital Quick References (DQRs) of common bedside procedures (CBPs) was created. It aims to provide necessary guidance and information for nurses to prepare and assist the procedures accurately, safely, and efficiently. By simply scanning the QR code with their own devices, various CBPs-related information, including equipment lists, nursing care, photo guides, and videos are available.
Objectives :
1) To standardize the clinical practice of CBPs in RTSKH ICU. 2) To reduce the preparation time of CBPs in RTSKH ICU. 3) To enhance nurses’ competence of CBPs in RTSKH ICU
Methodology :
The SMART guideline approach was adopted to draft all materials, ‘SMART’ stands for: 1) Standardization: standardize the practice of nurses to enhance the quality and safety of CBPs. 2) Multimedia: incorporate multimedia features such as photos and videos to foster engagement. 3) Accessibility: ensure easy access for learning and refreshing CBPs skills at any place and time. 4) Responsive: enable nurses to provide timely feedback on the materials. 5) Text-reduced: save time for the reader and improve comprehension of the materials.
Result & Outcome :
A total of 31 nurses completed the survey. 94% of nurses agreed that the DQRs were practical for use in the workplace. 97% of nurses agreed that they would refer to and follow the DQRs during CBPs. 90% of nurses expressed that they had saved more time when preparing for the procedures, and 94% of nurses reported that their competence in performing CBPs was empowered. From October 2022 to March 2023, a total of 32 pieces of feedback was received via the online platform, and 94% of that feedback was adopted to update the materials.
