Detailed description

After a one-year phase of development, primary nursing (process-responsible nursing; PP) has been practically implemented on a pilot ICU since January 2022 at the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW. Previously, the system of room care (standard care) was carried out. PP plan, coordinate and evaluate the nursing carried out. In addition, they take on the care responsibility for a maximum of two patients and also carry out the care at the same time. In the further course, an examination between the project ICU and another ICU with a focus on thoracic and cardiovascular surgery (surgical ICU) is to be carried out. The primary goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of a large-scale RCT. For this purpose, the duration of delirium after the introduction of a PP on the project ICU should be compared with the previous care organization as standard care in a surgical ICU. Secondary goals e.g. include: the incidence of delirium, anxiety, as well as the satisfaction of the relatives and the effects of PP on nurses are shown.
