First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether a 'primary nursing' model — where each patient is assigned a consistent nurse — leads to better outcomes. Over 1,300 nurses and patients took part. Researchers measured missed care, nurse job satisfaction, and patient satisfaction before and after the model was introduced. The goal was to see if this approach improves care quality and nurse well-being.
