The real experience of nurse role reconstruction under the implementation of the no-attendant care policy in Shanghai hospitals: a qualitative study
No-attendant care improves patient experience and alleviates family caregiving burden, but simultaneously places heavier physical, risk, and relational demands on nurses, highlighting the complexity of role reconstruction. This study demonstrates the essential features of nurses' lived experiences under this model and emphasizes the need for systemic support, such as legal frameworks, insurance coverage, and workforce training, to optimize care delivery and sustain professional resilience.
