Signs Of Excellent Nursing Care In The High-Tech Research Unit

The purpose was to obtain an in-depth understanding of the essentials of nursing care when collecting comprehensive and valid data from children who engage in high-technical research projects on myopia disease. Can we identify any of the key concepts of Excellent Nursing (EN) in our practise?

The study was conducted in the Research Unit at the Ophthalmology Department of Lillebaelt Hospital

Mini field observations were conducted by a clinical nurse specialist, with an emphasis on nursing practice. The participants included research nurses with extensive experience in data collection related to myopic children. The observation spanned multiple sessions, during which the clinical nurse specialist closely observed nursing interventions, communication strategies, and the overall atmosphere during interactions with myopic children.

Analysis of the observation data reveal several key findings regarding nursing practices in the collection of data on myopic children. These include predominantly Relational, Trust, and Authentic presence.

In concrete actions, the research nurse demonstrates the availiability of time through observant listening shown by attention to the relationship with the child, ensuring continuity and familiarity both in terms of individuals and settings, and acknowledging the children's autonomy.

We involve the children in the research and demonstrate care, technical skills, and calmness.

In conclusion, our investigations has identified that EN care is being provided and that the trusting relationship is particularly prominent and crucial and that EN care manifests in clinical practice in the research unite, and there by connects theory and practice.
