Description
Elizabeth Galik reports how nursing staff adopted function-focused care in a 2023 paper. The approach coaches hospital nurses to keep patients moving and self-caring during everyday tasks, rather than doing everything for them. It rests on social and ecological models of behavior change. The intervention has four parts, from building a stakeholder team to mentoring on the ward.
A nurse specialist taught the method in each site's preferred format. Watchers then scored real care moments, such as bathing, dressing, and transfers, against a nineteen-item guide. Good practice earned praise, and misses earned coaching. Across the first four sites, function-focused care rose from 81 percent of moments at two months to 88 percent at ten months. Missed chances steadily shrank.
