e18664 Background: Most of the work on PRO has been done in outpatient setting. However, cancer patients might even suffer from more severe problems when admitted to hospital for anticancer therapy. The question whether and how patients’ well-being changes during the course of the hospital stay and if electronically assessed PRO (ePRO) will bring benefit to patients and physicians remains unanswered. Implementing such a tool into routine clinical care can be considered as an additional challenge.The objectives of this study were to implement a multidimensional ePRO system to improve patient-physician interaction in inpatient cancer care and test its feasibility. A comprehensive set of PRO measures that would broadly assess the patient’s situation was developed by a multidisciplinary expert team. Before study initiation, semi-structured interviews with patients were carried out to optimize visualization and user experience. The tool included a rapid response ePRO system with a patient-tailored graphical feedback for physicians. The effect of the mobile tool on quality of life (QoL), symptom burden and patients’ satisfaction with care were explored. Methods: The study is an interventional, three-arm and multicenter inpatient trial. A self-administered questionnaire based on validated PRO-measures was applied and completed at admission, one week after and at discharge. Group A (intervention arm) and B received tablet versions while group C (control) completed the questionnaire on paper. Additional to the mere assessment of electronic patient reported outcome, results from group A were presented graphically to the treating physicians. Standardized instruments included measures of QoL (EORTC QLQ-C30), patients’ satisfaction with care (IN-PATSAT32) and adverse events (PRO-CTCAE). A feasibility questionnaire was administered to arm A and B. Results: N = 185 patients (mean age 63.5, 44.3% female) were recruited in oncology wards. 62% of patients were treated for oncological disease (33% with stage IV disease) and 37% for hematological disease. Feasibility questions revealed that the majority of patients preferred the electronic tool and believed that the tool was of high value for individualized patient care. Among others, symptom burden and global QoL did not significantly change during hospital stay. Satisfaction with care was significantly lower ( p = 0.047) in the intervention group (mean 3.55) versus the control group (mean 3.77) with scores ranging from 0-5. Conclusions: Results indicate that the intervention is feasible. Some of the results are counterintuitive and could possibly be influenced by a lack of physician compliance due to a busy daily routine. Moreover, the optimal interval and composition of questionnaires has yet to be determined in inpatient setting.

To assess satisfaction with care in acute spinal cord injury patients admitted to a specialized rehabilitation unit prior and after a tailored training in communication skills for the staff, the Picker Patient Experience-33 ((1) Content of the information, (2) Quality of the information, and (3) Quality of the relationship), the Spinal Cord Independence Measure-III, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were administered. The more troublesome dimension regarding patients’ satisfaction was content of the information, with 88.37 and 91.43 percent (pre/post-intervention) reporting problems with information provided concerning their rights, and 51.15 and 58.72 percent (pre/post-intervention) with the information received at discharge. Overall, functionality (Spinal Cord Independence Measure-III) improved at discharge, but Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale pre/post-scores revealed to be high.

Abstract Introduction. In recent times, patient outcome measurement has developed from being narrowly focussed upon levels of symptomatology and service use, to being a broader assessment of the impact of illness and treatment on the individual. Thus, it can be said that quality of life has become as significant as life expectance. This has brought about a transition in the assessment of treatment. Quality of life (QOL) is a multidimensional concept that usually includes subjective evaluations of both positive and negative aspects of life as it is being led. With regard to healthcare, a cross-sectional comparison of palliative care needs is crucial in understanding differences in the patients' quality of life. Hence, an analysis of programme implementation within different types of healthcare institutions is significant in evaluating current medical care standards. Our study analyzed the satisfaction level and quality of life of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and after myocardial infarction (MI). Different types of healthcare institutions were evaluated. Aim. To evaluate patients' satisfaction and quality of life in selected healthcare institutions in southern-eastern Poland. Material and methods. The quality of life of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was analyzed through the medical documentation obtained from different types of healthcare institutions. Among these are the pulmonary outpatient department in Moczary, as well as a GP Practice and a Nursing Home in this location. The quality of life of patients after myocardial infraction was analyzed through a survey study conducted at “Polonia” hospital spa in Rymanów Zdrój (the cardiology department). Results and conclusions. The post-myocardial infarction incident patients had began to care more about their health condition and the quality of life they led. Moreover, their satisfaction level from received treatment and medical care indicated that the cardiological services implemented in southern-eastern Poland has proceeded in a good direction. Of note, these patients were systematically under specialist control. In contrast, among patients with COPD, only those under everyday care in the Nursing Home in Moczary received a similar systematic treatment, thus, COPD patients in Moczary lead a poor quality of life. This indicates a need to re-evaluate the current programmes and services provided by health care institutions in this region.

The Past

Over the past few decades, health care as a whole and psychiatry specifically have evolved as a result of various societal influences. Quality assurance, evidence-based treatment and patients’ satisfaction with care are all examples of such trends. In Sweden, the patients’ satisfaction with care has become the concern both of researchers and of mental health care administrators. This may be a result of changed social norms and of the relatively recent apprehension of patients’ wish to participate in their own health care.

Nursing Quality

Patients, during their stay at hospital, have the right to receive qualitative care and patients’ wellbeing depends on it. Patients’ wellbeing is based on satisfaction with care, which is influenced by, made by several conditions: communication of nurses, professionalism, education and timely provision thereof. Research aim: analyse the satisfaction of patients with the care provided by nurses. Research methods: Quantitative research method – original questionnaire “Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale” (NSNS).The results of the research: Patient who gives the assessment on nursing quality, with his sense of health condition of the specific period, general and individual requirements, personalized wishes and expectations can influence the satisfaction assessment, because he always is the source subjective variations. Even though the level of patients’ satisfaction is important and considerable indicator for nursing quality, by means of which it is possible to determine the efficiency of the provided care. This is a real means to identify the implemented fields of nursing aims, and improve the process if required, to ensure the quality. Nursing quality is based on patient-centred approach to achieve the common preferable health-care results.
