- Abstract:
- Background: Establishing partnerships with patients that support patient participation in their care has been identified as an important factor in patient safety initiatives. However, inconsistencies can be found in the literature related to partnerships between healthcare providers and patients. Purpose: To assess the Theory of Planned Behavior’s constructs of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on nurses’ (N=217) intent to partner with patients during bedside change of shift report. Theoretical Framework: Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional, explanatory study design, this study explored relationships between the three major determinants of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control to determine the efficacy in predicting the behavior of partnering with patients during bedside change of shift report. The instruments used were a demographic survey and the Partnering with Patients during Change of Shift Survey. Results: Attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control could explain 65% of the variance in the nurses’ intention to partner with patients during bedside change of shift report. Nurses’ attitudes (Beta = .59, p = .000) had the greatest influence on intent to partner, followed by subjective norm (Beta = .36, p = .000) and perceived behavioral control (Beta = .11, p = .000). Conclusions: The study findings provide important information on the contributions of attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on the nurses’ intent to partner with patients during bedside change of shift report. This information can be applied to the development of interventions targeting strategies to improve the likelihood of that partnership.
