Description

<p>This study aimed to shed light on rehabilitation nursing practices among ICU nurses. Semi-structured interviews were performed with seven nurses with ICU nursing experience of five or more years in an institution where rehabilitation nursing in the ICU is actively implemented. Subsequently, a qualitative inductive analysis was performed. Regarding the practice of rehabilitation nursing among ICU nurses, seven categories were identified: support in the ICU, which focuses not only on time in the ICU but also on the patient’s future; maintenance of functioning and regulation of general physical condition in bedbound patients; support that promotes the independence of the patient, even as they are undergoing intensive care; implementation of early mobilization; psychological support for the patient and family; collaboration with other occupations and between nurses; and strengthening of ICU nurses’ competence in rehabilitation nursing. ICU nurses focus on their patient’s future and practice rehabilitation nursing that is closely related to the patient’s life; these items indicate the expertise and important role of ICU nurses on the rehabilitation team.</p>
