IMPROVING NURSE-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP
Expiration: August 17, 2022Although health care delivery is a team work where each personnel is equally important in his own field , yet , nurses and midwives are considered the backbone of each health institution because they render direct services to patients and clients . Nurses spend more time with patients than any other health care personnel , as such , a very good relationship has to be developed between the nurses and patients/clients in order to ensure effective delivery of care .
General Hospital Daura is a government owned secondary health institution located in Daura local government area of Katsina State , Nigeria . It consists of more than 100 nurses and midwives who run different shifts in different departments and units .
I am professionally a registered nurse ; therefore , I understand all that's happening between nurses and their clients/patients . The relationship we have in General Hospital Daura with patients is quite encouraging , but because of work overload and misunderstanding , cases arise where the relationship deteriorates , thus , affecting the quality of care .
This program is aimed at improving the relationship between nurses and their clients/patients , so that , the quality of care is enhanced . The program will be held within 2 weeks , within which all the nurses and midwives in the hospital will be given lectures by Psychologists . The lectures will centralize mainly on the attitudes of people in different circumstances giving emphasis on the sick and ill because human beings portray completely different attitude when they are sick . Although , all nurses and midwives undergo training in Psychology and Behavioral Science in schools , this program will further develop them as it is going to be led by group of experts . The nurses and midwives will be divided by the number of days (14 days ) , depending on roster flexibility .
The funding for the program will be used for sponsoring the presenters for 2 weeks . Five presenters will be invited , viz :
1. 2 Psychologists
2. Director Nursing Services I/C of the hospital
3. 2 Scholars ( Muslim/Christian ) , whose contribution will be mainly on educating and enlightening the nurses and midwives on the significance of creating good relationship with their clients and patients , and the benefits hereafter of caring and serving humanity .
The funding will also be used in feeding the participants during each session for the whole 2 weeks . Part of the funding will be used in providing shirts and P-Caps with the name of the program sponsors on them , and for provision of certificates of participation to the participants .
Lastly , the program is decided to be held in 2 weeks because nurses and midwives can't be available at once as they run shifts , therefore , a date and time will be given to each depending on their duty rosters .

About Smart RR
Smart Reporting and Referral (SMART RR) is a technology-based mobile application that allows survivors, social workers, and service providers to report and refer cases/incidents of GBV from their smart and basic phones. The tool was developed by the Big Family 360 Foundation, a national non-governmental organization in Nigeria. Smart RR application is a technology-based mobile application that enables survivors, social workers and service providers to report and refer GBV incidents to relevant service providers and authorities, conducts service mapping, automatically updates referral directory, collects and analyses referral data.
This idea was built on the existing referral mechanism of the GBV Sub Sector which is done manually. The application was therefore designed to mitigate existing challenges such as under-reporting and associated difficulties with accessing services.
The pilot rollout and deployment of Smart RR in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States are with the technical guidance of UNFPA and the GBV Sub Sector with support from the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF). A test run has been conducted within a group of GBV specialists in Borno and Adamawa States under the guidance of the GBV Strategic Advisory Group to ensure the application does not compromise survivor-centered approaches to GBV service provision.
