About this study

Official title: Relationship-based Care Model in Pediatrics: a Randomized Controlled Trial to Implement the Parents' Perception of Quality of Nursing Care

Aim: To evaluate whether the application of the Relationship-based Care (RBC) model as a treatment called "Take 5 minutes" (T5M) affects the level of anxiety and depression of the parent, the level of the parent perceived quality of nursing care and the work satisfaction of the nursing staff.

Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Methods: The trial was performed from February to July 2016. The trial was conducted with one intervention (N=101) and one control group (N=90). Nurses applied the RBC model as a treatment, named "Take 5 Minutes", that consisted of dedicating some short time (from 5 to 10 minutes) to the relationship with the parents, using specifically designed communication strategies. The primary outcome was the evaluation of anxiety and depression of parents, the secondary was the parent perceived quality of nursing care.

ExperimentalExperimentalEach nurse applied the RBC model through the treatment "Take 5 minutes" (T5M), to parents allocated to the experimental group. This consisted in devoting some time (from 5 to 10 minutes) to improving the relationship with the parent. This treatment can be considered as the practical development of the core principles of the RBC model by the study team. During the T5M the nurse applied the strategies of empathic communication and active listening, learned during the education and training phase. The treatment lasted from 5 to 10 minutes and was delivered once per day during the admission of the patient. The T5M time was considered as additional or supplementary, but not substitutive, of the standard nursing time dedicated daily to patients and parents.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from T0 to T1 and T2 of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores

    The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) has been used to determine the anxiety and depression of the parents of hospitalized children. HADS is a fourteen items scale (seven items related to anxiety and seven to depression): each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0-3 and this means that a person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression. A cut-off point of 8/21 for anxiety or depression has been previously established in the literature.

    Measured: T0: admission of the patient; T1: 4th day after the admission; T2: at discharge (expected mean value = 6.2 days after admission [standard deviation = 2.0])

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI)

    The Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI) was used to assess the quality of nursing care perceived by the parents. CBI has 24-items, divided into four dimensions: presence, compliance, competence, and care; each item is a Likert-scale ranging from 0 to 4.

    Measured: T2: at discharge of the patient (expected mean value = 6.2 days after admission [standard deviation = 2.0])

  2. Change of the job satisfaction of the nurses

    A "Job Satisfaction" questionnaire was used to measure the job satisfaction of the nurses. This questionnaire is composed by 44-items. It was assessed at the beginning (February 2016) and at the end (July 2016) of the data collection.

    Measured: 6 months
