Study Notes

Impact of Clinical Pathway Implementation on Quality of Care in Chinese Nurses

  • Aim: To investigate how clinical pathway implementation satisfaction, work engagement, and hospital-patient relationship influence the quality of care provided by nurses in Chinese public hospitals.
  • Background: Clinical pathways are quality improvement methods used in healthcare systems. Nurses are key to implementing clinical pathways.
  • Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study surveyed nurses in seven Chinese tertiary public hospitals. A questionnaire measured general characteristics and satisfaction with clinical pathways, work engagement, hospital-patient relationships, and quality of care. Moderated mediation models analyzed the relationships. The study followed STROBE guidelines.
  • Results: Clinical pathway implementation satisfaction positively impacts quality of care (B=0.873, p<0.001). Work engagement mediates the relationship between satisfaction and quality of care (effect=0.080, Boot 95% CI=[0.023, 0.142]). Hospital-patient relationships moderate this mediation effect (p<0.01).
  • Conclusion: Nurse satisfaction with clinical pathway implementation improves quality of care through increased work engagement. Positive hospital-patient relationships enhance this effect.
  • Implications: Hospital managers should address nurse satisfaction with implementation strategies. Fostering good hospital-patient relationships is necessary to improve work engagement and care quality.
