After seven months of dedicated effort, Nanna Selmer successfully completed the targeted 320 interviews with hospitalised medical patients – along with many meaningful conversations.
Nanna is now busy entering data and conducting follow-ups, so that the final prediction model can be developed. This model will identify elderly multimorbid patients at risk of readmission within 30 days.
Nanna tilføjer: “Det har været spændende, jeg har mødt mange fantastiske mennesker og fået snakket med dem hver og en, på en helt anden måde, end jeg ellers har været vant til som sygeplejerske. Jeg har givet mig tiden med hver eneste, for helt fra start, fik jeg mange anerkendelser og tak med på vejen, for netop at tage tiden og lytte, selvom interviewene var struktureret. Det var det mindste jeg kunne gøre, for at vise min taknemmelighed til dem.”
Matilde Skødstrup Axelsens dataindsamling til studie 2 om interne overgange i Kardiologisk Afdeling er nu afsluttet.
Over the past six months, Matilde has recruited and interviewed 20 elderly patients with cardiovascular and multimorbid conditions about their experiences of hospitalisation and the internal transitions that accompany it.
Patienterne blev interviewet over telefonen, under indlæggelse og i eget hjem.
Matilde comments: “The patients’ perspective is very close to my heart, and I truly believe we have much to learn from their experiences and reflections. I’m looking forward to delving into the material and, in time, sharing some insightful and important results that will both deepen our understanding of internal transitions in hospitals and contribute to the development of the transition component of the project.”
