Title: Patients' Experience Receiving a Bed Bath From Nurses.
Authors: Wolf, Zane Robinson
Abstract: This phenomenological study describes hospitalized patients' experience being bathed by nursing staff. Six former patients were interviewed about their experience during hospitalization. Transcribed interviews were analyzed to create a linguisitic construction of it. Results were triangulated by data or descriptors in Cameron's research on the nature of nursing practice and noncognitive forms of knowledge and Watson's theory. Theme clusters were: about patients, evaluating caring and non-caring nurses, and being bathed.
