Exploring the influence of scheduled meetings on physiological indicators of hospitalized patients satisfaction facing acute myocardial infarction in the intensive care unit

BACKGROUND: Satisfaction of patients is among the top priorities of health-care providers. Meeting with families is essential for patients who are admitted to various wards, although it has been restricted for many reasons such as its impact on physiologic indicators. This present research study aim...

description BACKGROUND: Satisfaction of patients is among the top priorities of health-care providers. Meeting with families is essential for patients who are admitted to various wards, although it has been restricted for many reasons such as its impact on physiologic indicators. This present research study aimed to exploring the influence of scheduled meetings on physiological indicators of hospitalized patients satisfaction facing acute myocardial infarction in the intensive care unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a nonrandomized clinical trial with a control group conducted in the cardiac care unit ward of Hamadan's Ekbatan Hospital. Sixty patients with acute myocardial infarction were chosen through convenient sampling and assigned to intervention (planned meeting) and control (routine meeting) groups in a nonrandomized manner. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire of patient satisfaction and the observatory checklist of physiologic indicators and then analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics v23. RESULTS: The total mean score of satisfaction did not significantly differ between the two groups (P = 0.921). The satisfaction of patients for “the conduct of visitors” was significantly higher in the intervention group (P = 0.005). During the study, no meaningful difference was found between the two groups for physiologic indicators (P > 0.05), while these indicators, except for blood O2 saturation, were meaningfully increased in the control group during routine meetings (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Planned meetings did not promote total satisfaction of patients with meetings, but improved some aspects of satisfaction, such as the conduct of visitors. The planned meeting is recommended as an alternative for a routine meeting, as it did not affect the physiologic indicators of patients in the intervention group.
