Study summary

The aim of the study is to find out what care patients affected by anxiety, fear or loneliness have perceived and the perceived impact of this care. This knowledge will allow us to design measures aimed at improving nursing care of these aspects in the future.

Read the detailed description

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study to be carried out at the Consorci Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí (CCSPT). The results of this study will provide information on the care received by patients admitted to COVID 19 affected by anxiety, fear or loneliness, the perceived impact of this care and will enable measures to be implemented to improve nursing care in the future. 450 patients, randomly selected from the Hospital de Sabadell database, will be included. In the sample, we will ensure that the proportion of women and men is in line with the distribution of the population to enable the incorporation of the gender perspective in the analyses. The quantitative variables will be described by means of their mean and standard deviation. Qualitative variables will be described in absolute and relative frequencies. In order to evaluate the suitability of the intervention to the needs of the patient, a table of concordance will be constructed between the actions proposed by the panel of experts and the actions carried out as referred by the patient. The kappa concordance index will be calculated and the degree of concordance will be classified according to the Landis and Koch scale. As regards the effectiveness of the intervention, the patients who were treated correctly and those who were not will be identified, and the percentage of positive impacts according to Csq-8 between the two groups will be compared by means of the Chi-square test.
