ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how hospitals in Andalusia, Spain, can improve the way they care for patients by focusing on humanizing healthcare. Researchers will talk to patients in internal medicine and emergency units to understand their experiences, including how they feel about the care they receive, their levels of pain and anxiety, and any difficulties like falls or pressure injuries that might happen during their stay. They will also gather information about the working conditions of nurses and health technicians to see how these factors relate to patient outcomes.

If you are a patient admitted to one of these units (unless you have certain urgent medical issues or cognitive impairments), you could be eligible to participate in this study. By sharing your experiences, you can help healthcare providers understand what works well and what needs improvement in patient care. The study is currently recruiting participants, and your insights could play a vital role in enhancing the overall hospital experience for future patients.
