Single Patient Room and Increased Patient Safety (Arup & NHS, 2010) In a research study performed by Arup and National Patient Safety Agency comparing the benefits and drawbacks between multi-bed and single-bed rooms in hospitals, they surveyed staff on patient safety in regards to medication errors. The survey reported that almost all (99%) of hospital staff found that single-bed patient rooms decreased chances of medication errors in the healthcare environment. (Arup & NHS, 2010). 34
What previous studies have shown: Single Patient Room and Social Support • Patient pain is reduced and physiological outcomes improve as a direct result of social support from nurses, families and significant others in the hospital environment • In Finland, researchers found that in 193 bypass grafting patients, when inner-hospital social support was high, the patients experienced less fear and anxiety • Social support in regards to patient-family social interaction helped patient’s physiological outcomes and enhanced patient progress • “Family presence and their social support through touching, talking, and surveillance helped patients to deal with their treatments better and facilitated their clinical progress.” • Social support for families also reduces family stress in addition to patient stress, and enhances a family’s satisfaction of a particular hospital (Ulrich, 2008) Kaiser Permanente rethinking of patient room (New York Times, 2009) (New York Times, 2009) Single patient room as a means for social support: Social interaction is facilitated by lounge-like settings, comfortable furniture in flexible arrangements that are conducive to gathering and talking. The single patient room allows for more space for incorporating these things than a double or multi-bed room. The increased privacy in a single patient room also makes it easier and more comfortable for family members of patients to spend time and socialize with their loved one. Overall, single rooms are significantly more accommodating for family members, which ultimately enhances the social support the family is able to provide for the patient. 35
