Upon being discharged, postpartum women often asked questions about “How do I care the wound?” or “When may we start sexual behavior?” Insufficient instruction often affected the quality of home care. The purpose of this project was to improve the incompleteness of performing Caesarean section (C/S) clinical pathway. After clinical analysis, the content completion rate was only 39.9%. The major factors of the incompleteness were inappropriate time schedule, inconsistency between nursing instruction in clinical pathway and health education materials, shortage of the clinical pathway sheets, lack of continuous monitoring, deficiency of nursing recognition about clinical pathway, and discordant performance of clinical pathway. In order to resolve the problems, methods included revising the content of clinical pathway, developing the nursing instruction sheets for C/S postpartum women care, establishing supplementary procedure, monitoring process and nursing care guidelines for C/S clinical pathway, and holding seminar to introduce the benefits and applications of the pathway. The results indicated that the completeness of C/S clinical pathway performed by nurses increased from 39.9% to 73.1%. Moreover, the nurses’ recognition of clinical pathway improved from 61.3% to 95.9%. The goals of the project were successfully achieved. The quality of patient care could also be improved. |
