Minor things of major importance—nurses’ experience of using the Komfort Bundle when caring for critically ill patients: A qualitative study

Nurses found the Komfort Bundle helpful in gaining insights into patients' preferences and needs, enabling more personalised, potentially meaningful care interventions. It facilitated nurses' involvement of family members. The Bundle shows promise as a practical tool. Still, it needs clearer implementation guidelines due to concerns about the lack of regular content evaluation and the need to address confidentiality issues. Research is needed to understand how patients and families experience its impact.

Abstract

Nurses found the Komfort Bundle helpful in gaining insights into patients' preferences and needs, enabling more personalised, potentially meaningful care interventions. It facilitated nurses' involvement of family members. The Bundle shows promise as a practical tool. Still, it needs clearer implementation guidelines due to concerns about the lack of regular content evaluation and the need to address confidentiality issues. Research is needed to understand how patients and families experience its impact.
