Abstract

This nonrandomized controlled study evaluated the effects of Family—Provider Alliance Program on nurses’ perception of therapeutic alliance, job satisfaction, and quality of care. A total of 275 nurses were included in the study: 206 nurses in the ICUs participated in the Program and 69 in the control group did not. Mean postinterventional Kim Alliance Scale-Provider score was improved not only in the experimental group (+0.87; p = .01), but also in the control group (+1.37; p = .016). However, Empowerment subscale mean score was improved in the experimental group alone (+0.34; p = .006). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that family—nurse therapeutic alliance explained 7.2% and 11.4% of the variance in nurses’ job satisfaction and perceived quality of care, respectively. The Program was marginally effective in improving nurses’ perception of family empowerment. The quality of family—nurse therapeutic alliance predicted small to moderate fractions of the variance in nurses’ job satisfaction and perceived quality of care.
