Type: article

Abstract: Objectives: In this study, we examined the opinions of patients with severe sepsis concerning selected elements of patient nursing care during hospital treatment. Methods: We studied 105 adult patients with severe sepsis who received hospital treatment in Poland. Patients' opinions were examined concerning the engagement of nurses in the nursing process in the bio-psycho-social sphere and health education from the aspect of self-care after discharge from hospital. Results: Patients with sepsis received the highest level of support from nurses regarding making contacts with the family. Approximately one-third of respondents reported deficits in nursing care in the area of meeting the need for security, observation of vital signs, and assistance with feeding. A portion of respondents did not receive information about the possibility of social support after discharge from hospital. Conclusions: It is necessary to improve nursing care of patients with sepsis in the bio-psycho-social sphere, regarding the observation of vital signs and health education, because approximately one-third of patients reported deficits in these areas.
