Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | Journal of advanced nursing (Print), | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | AimTo investigate the perceptions of family members (FMs) of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and nurses on empowering support and its implementation during the acute phase within Finnish neurosurgical and neurological care in hospital settings, focusing on identifying similarities and differences in their viewpoints.DesignParticipatory qualitative descriptive study.MethodsData were collected from seven FMs and 11 nurses using the World Caf & eacute; method in November 2019. An abductive approach was employed for data analysis, combining deductive interpretation within the conceptual framework of empowering support and inductive content analysis.ResultsFour main themes were identified: (1) FMs' diverse information and guidance needs of TBI, treatment and its impact on family life, (2) support based on empowering FMs in participation, competence and decision-making, (3) empowering FMs through collaborative nursing practices and interprofessional support, and (4) internal and external hospital support enhancing and promoting the empowerment of FMs.ConclusionThe perceptions of FMs and nurses regarding empowering support were largely consistent, yet diverged in its implementation in nursing practice. Nurses play a crucial role in fostering the empowerment of FMs; however, further research is needed to explore the impact of organisational and community factors on the implementation of empowering support.ImpactOur study contributes to advancing nursing practices by underscoring the necessity for a paradigm shift towards a family-centred approach. Furthermore, it emphasises the urgency for standardising nursing practices to ensure equitable access to empowering support for FMs, applicable across various care settings for patients with TBI.Public ContributionThis review is part of a larger research project in which FMs of patients with TBI and nurses were involved in designing the project.Reporting MethodThis study was reported using the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Checklist for qualitative studies. | Notes: | Lindlöf, J (corresponding author), Univ Eastern Finland, Dept Nursing Sci, Kuopio, Finland. julia.lindlof@uef.fi |
