Introduction: Recovery unit is a necessary unit for the patients care in the wake up phase after anesthesia in which the care of patients, based on the standards of care, can lead to reduction of complications after surgery and it can provide optimal services to patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the level of compliance with the standards of care in recovery of selected hospitals in Isfahan.
Materials and Methods: The present research was a cross-sectional study. 94 employees working in the recovery department, who met the inclusion criteria, were selected and they were entered the study by quota sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made checklist of standards of care in the recovery ward. This checklist included 40 items (in 8 areas) with a 3-point Likert scale, which was designed based on a review of the literature on existing standards of care for the recovery ward. Its content validity was conducted by 10 faculty members using the Lausche, Waltz, and Bassel methods and its CVR and CVI values were 0.62 and 0.78, respectively. Its reliability was calculated using the Cronbach's alpha method by conducting a pilot study on 30 people from the same population as the main study and the alpha coefficient was 0.724.
Results: Among the 94 personnel evaluated, 87.5% were women and the mean age of the subjects was 36.52 ± 8.58 and the mean of work experience was 8.41 ± 12.52 years. The level of compliance with the care standards in the recovery of all three hospitals was relatively desirable and there was not any significant difference in the mean scores between the hospitals(P=0.220); however, there was a significant difference between the recovery wards in terms of compliance with the standards of care in the areas of surgical wound care(P=0.013) and patient delivery and reporting (P=0.003).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the level of compliance with the standards of care in the recovery of the studied hospitals was in a relatively favorable situation. Additionally, purchasing the necessary equipment, using the staff of the nurses and novice staff together and providing practical training can lead to improvement of the current situation.
