Bed articles for nursing care--state of the art in two German hospitals.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Bed articles are basic instruments for positioning. Research about this topic has concentrated on evidence for better practice. However, little is known about what practitioners really do. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:This study intended to identify the most common bed articles used for positioning in two German hospitals, and to determine the decision-maker for their application and the purposes and criteria for their choice. METHODS:Nursing experts from 100 wards were interviewed with the help of a structured questionnaire and based on these data a list of the 10 most frequent devices was compiled. RESULTS:Supporting the body position was the most frequent intervention performed by German nurses, mainly with the help of hydraulic beds, pillows and blankets. Nurses were the main decision-makers for the use of these bed articles. Their choice was mainly based on work experience and patients' desires. Guidelines and literature played a minor role in this process. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE:If nurses, despite the medical doctors' role as the main decision-maker in German hospitals, exert significant influence on this aspect of care, they can support their position by evidence-based practice.
