Abstract
According to theorists of Nightingale and Watson, creating healing environment is benefit for both patients and nurses. Most of nurses were lack of comprehensive understanding of a healing environment. The Respiratory Care Center(RCC) is a subacute care facility provides pulmonary rehabilitation program to prolong ventilation weaning patients. Providing a healing environment can often be a challenge in RCC due to daily training and exercising. Strategies of quiet time are dim down the light and reduce the noise level with two block of time. The aim of this project is to enhance the conception of nursing care in providing healing environment in RCC.
From October 2016 to April 2017, the project team designed an education program with pretest-posttest evaluation which based on quiet time and conducted to nurses from RCC. The primary outcome was the pretest-posttest evaluation of nurses.
In our project, we demonstrated that the conception of providing healing environment can improved by education programs. We surmise that the lower mean scores in senior nurses were attributed to work fatigue and overload non-clinical working. Despite the daily pulmonary rehabilitation is important to patients with prolong ventilation weaning in the RCC, providing an adequate healing environment has beneficial to recovering. The concept of providing healing environment should be keep prompting and emphasizing for nurses.
