Does the experience of staff working in the NHS link to the patient experience of care? An analysis of links between the 2007 acute trust inpatient and NHS staff surveys - Fade Library

Sat Feb 06 11:45:37 +0000 2010

"Links the results of the 2007 acute inpatient and staff surveys using a series of statistical analyses intended to highlight the most important relationships between the two surveys. Key findings are: * The more staff who have had health and safety training, the better the patient perceptions of greater conscientiousness and availability of staff. * Organisations where staff have clear, planned goals are more likely to have patients who report positive experiences of communication; in particular around patients being involved in decisions on care/treatment, family members being able to speak to doctors, the medical information patients were given, and doctors acknowledging the presence of the patient directly when talking about their case with others. * When employees are considering leaving their organisation, it is more likely that there are poor levels of communication with patients, particularly around medicine. * Patient perceptions of staffing levels and the respect and dignity shown towards them are correlated to employee’s feelings of work pressure and staffing levels * Prevalence of discrimination against staff is related to several areas of patient experience, particularly their perceptions of nursing staff. * High levels of bullying, harassment and abuse against staff by outsiders relates to many negative patient experiences. * Staff views on the confidentiality of patient information are mirrored by patient views of the privacy they are given."
