Training hospice nurses to elicit patient concerns
Abstract
Patient assessment underpins every aspect of nursing care However, there is much evidence to suggest that many nurses lack the skills necessary to communicate effectively with their patients, and so assess their individual problems and concerns Communication studies to date have been descriptive, or have concentrated on acquisition of skills without addressing the impact this has on patient care This paper reviews a study of 44 hospice nurses who were taught assessment skills It discusses the impact of training not only on their skill level, but also on their ability to elicit their patients’ concerns It concludes that simple skills training is insufficient to change clinical behaviour, and discusses other factors which should be addressed in future training programmes

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
