Background: Hospitals, as healthcare providers, evaluate service quality and patient satisfaction as key indicators of operational success, with nurses playing a pivotal role in delivering optimal care. Nurses' knowledge and skills, which can be enhanced through training such as nursing rounds, are crucial to ensuring high-quality nursing care. Nursing rounds serve as a systematic method in nursing care management, involving direct discussions between nurses, patients, or their families to identify and evaluate health issues. However, at the Provincial Teaching Hospital, the implementation of nursing rounds has not been well-integrated due to a lack of knowledge and insufficient socialization from nursing managers, which hampers communication among healthcare professionals and reduces service quality. Studies indicate that nursing rounds can improve team communication, reduce error risks, enhance patient safety, and support nurses' autonomy in decision-making, although their implementation is currently hindered by high workloads and inadequate training.
Method: The type of research used in this writing is a case study. A case study is a qualitative research method that focuses on an in-depth analysis of one or several specific cases. It can also be utilized to explore and understand various real-life phenomena.
Results: The assessment conducted in the inpatient ward of the Provincial Teaching Hospital identified several issues, including the busy schedules of other professionals, time constraints due to patient care, relatively uncomplicated patient cases, a lack of nurses' knowledge about nursing rounds, and the suboptimal implementation of nursing rounds due to management issues.
Discussions: The nursing management issues in the inpatient ward that contribute to the lack of nursing rounds include insufficient knowledge about nursing management, particularly regarding nursing rounds, and a lack of openness. Actions taken to address this include implementing nursing rounds.
