A study exploring perception of Nurses regarding over responsibility : A Qualitative Approach

Abstract

Intro :Nurses' work continually influences nursing concepts, which include not only caring for the ill but also becoming advocates for well-being and influencing favorable patient outcomes. Study objective was to explore the Nurses perception on over responsibilitiesMethod: Qualitative approach was adopted for the study to explore. A semi structured interview guide was established. The reliability of the research was ensured through verbatim records of the study's respondents' interviews. The instruction was tested on two nurses and modified as a result. Nurses working as staff nurses in Multi-specialty hospitals were targeted for data collection. Purposive sampling approaches were used to recruit respondents until the topics were saturated. Probing questions were posed, and participants were given the opportunity to voice their further thoughts and opinions. The first author went over the transcripts line by line, reading them again and thematically analysing their contents. The study's co-authors confirmed the developing themes and contents.Findings  Three themes were emerged viz ; Quality of life, Mistake in decision making aand burnout. Conclusion :Nurses engaged in nursing care felt  that they are unable to offer focused quality nursing care owing to overburdening, and that record keeping is also hampered. Following an extensive interview, three themes emerged: quality of life, errors in judgement, and fatigue. To attain optimal and quality nursing care, the workload must be assessed and the facility to enhance care must be offered.
