The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the primary nursing model on nurse and patient outcomes. In the study, primary nursing education was provided to the nurses in the experimental group, and the primary nursing model was implemented in the clinics where they worked. Evaluations were conducted with nurses and patients before the implementation and at the third and sixth months after the implementation.
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of the primary nursing model on missed nursing care, nurses' job satisfaction, nurses' roles and competencies, and patient satisfaction with nursing care.
Hypotheses of the study:
H1-1: There is a significant difference between the evaluations of nurses in the experimental group regarding missed nursing care before the primary nursing implementation and at the 3rd and 6th months after the implementation.
H1-2: There is a significant difference between the job satisfaction evaluations of nurses in the experimental group before the implementation and at the 3rd and 6th months after the implementation.
H1-3: There is a significant difference between the role and competency evaluations of nurses in the experimental group before the implementation and at the 3rd and 6th months after the implementation.
H1-4: There is a significant difference between the evaluations of patients receiving care from nurses in the experimental group regarding missed nursing care before the implementation and at the 3rd and 6th months after the implementation.
H1-5: There is a significant difference between the evaluations of patients receiving care from nurses in the experimental group regarding satisfaction with nursing care before the implementation and at the 3rd and 6th months after the implementation.
