Abstract/Description:
?Nursing is a trusted profession aimed at delivering quality, patient-centered care perceived by patients as caring and satisfactory. While empiric care components are measurable as associated with clinical outcomes, patients' perceptions of care are increasingly important in determining satisfaction with the patient care experience. Not clearly defined, nor empirically measurable, the "art" of nursing is taking on increasing importance as a component of satisfaction with the patient experience. The purpose of this integrative literature review was to review the literature in order to find common themes influencing determination of the art of nursing on patient satisfaction in acute care settings. Fourteen studies were selected and reviewed after a search of CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, and PsycINFOCINAHL databases. Four themes that emerged: building a relationship with the patient; conducting a thorough assessment of the patient; meaningful communication with the patient, and availability of nurses for their patients. The findings suggest that the art of nursing, as grounded in the demonstration of nursing care behaviors, is a component of patients' satisfaction with the provision of care. This evidence-based knowledge is transferable to efforts in modifying nursing practices that exemplify patient-centered care.
