There is evidence of limited agreement between the perceptions of patients and the perceptions of nurses and/or caregivers with regard to the degree of patient involvement in the planning and performance of their care. AIM: To analyse and compare patients' and nurses' perceptions of patients' decisional control over their own care. METHOD: A multisite cross-sectional comparative survey design was employed. Data were collected from hospitalised surgical inpatients (n = 1315) and their caregivers (n = 960 nurses) in five European countries. The Individualised Care Scale part B was used for collecting data from both the patients and nurses. Ethical standards were followed throughout the study. RESULTS: Significant between-country differences were found between patients and nurses. In all countries, both patients and nurses regarded that decisional control over care had been actualised (ICS-B: M = 3.75-4.47 and 3.48-4.33, respectively), but there were significant differences in their perceptions regarding four of the six items of the decisional control factor of the ICS-B. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that there are disparities between patients' and nurses' perceptions of patient involvement in care, probably due to cultural issues that need further exploration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The disparities between patients' and nurses' perceptions on patients' decisional control over their care should be taken into consideration as a potential cause of patient dissatisfaction with nursing care. | Description: | The Ministry of Health of Cyprus (approval no: Y.Y. 5.14.02.4(2)) and the Cyprus National Bioethics Committee (approval no: EEBK/EΠ/2008/1) reviewed and approved the research protocol as Cyprus was the coordinating country for the research study. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/8519 | ISSN: | 14716712 | DOI: | 10.1111/scs.12218 | Rights: | © Wiley | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology Cyprus Ministry of Health University of Nicosia National and Kapodistrian University of Athens University of Ostrava Semmelweis University University of Turku |
