简要总结
This mixed methods study aims to understand family care participation in the adult medicine wards of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana. The main questions it aims to answer, from the perspective of the patient, family caregiver, nurse, doctor, ward assistant, and hospital administrator, are:
- What is the role of the family caregiver in hospital care?
- What is the perceived effect of family participation in hospital care?
- What are the barriers and facilitators experienced in family participation?
- What are suggestions for family participation interventions?
These questions will be answered with three study arms:
- A prospective observational cohort (population: patients and family caregivers)
- A time and motion study (population: nurses and doctors)
- Interviews and focus group discussions (population: patients, family caregivers, nurses, doctors, ward assistants, and hospital administrators)
