Keywords:
Experiences, Phenomenological Study, Cardiac Care Unit, Limited ResourceAbstract
This phenomenological study aimed to describe the experiences of opening a Cardiac Care Unit with limited resources in a tertiary hospital. Forty informants who had been involved in the opening the Cardiac Care Unit were recruited by using purposive sampling method. Data were collected by using in-depth interviews with a recording machine. Tape-recorded interviews were transcribed for verbatim. Data were analyzed by using Van Manen’s method. Reliability of research was performed based on Lincoln and Guba.
Findings indicated that the experiences of opening a Cardiac Care Unit under limited resources included 5 key issues: 1) teamwork of the frontline staff, 2) following work motto entitled “Our Soul is for the Benefit of Mankind”, 3) an importance of first-line supervisor, 4) giving an opportunity and facilitating staff, and 5) viewing obstacles as challenges.
From this study, there should be a review of critically ill ward or cardiac ward on the basis of resource constraints in terms of capacity, so that service recipients could access the service with safety.
