Roberto C Sombillo

A
call light represents a patient need, the simplest
requirement to reach a facial tissue to as complex as the
necessity to be relieved with pain. Health care workers are
critical in responding to these needs and thus patients are
not to be considered interruptions in one’s work. The no pass
zone is a quality initiative that emphasizes patient is the reason
why nurses are existent in the hospital. in this descriptive
correlational study, the no pass zone is premised on provision
of direct assistance to patient thus the need for help must be
satisfied. The study has the following research questions: what
is the degree of satisfaction and agreement of nurses and
health care workers on the no pass zone program? what is the
patient satisfaction rating on the following parameters: call bell
responseandcourtesyofnurses? is therearelationshipbetween
patients and nurse’s satisfaction rating? is there a relationship
between nurses satisfaction and agreement in the no pass zone
program? the researcher devised satisfaction survey tool have
assessed the level of agreement and satisfaction of nurses in
no pass zone initiative as to agreement and satisfaction using
a four point-likert scale where 4 is strongly agree and very
satisfactory, 3 agree and satisfactory, 2 fairly agree and fairly
satisfactory, 1 do not agree and not satisfactory. The satisfaction
rating was evaluated as very satisfied. The highest ratings were
in the elements related to increasing awareness to safety and its
integration in the daily routine of nurses, development of team
work and improvement in the satisfaction of both patients and
nurses and all were rated as very satisfactory. The agreement
of nurses as to the no pass zone revealed a strong agreement.
The highest ratings were likewise in the elements related to
increasing awareness to safety and its integration in the daily
routine of nurses and improvement in the satisfaction of both
patients and nurses and were rated as very satisfactory. The
rating on promptness of needs being attended reflects a very
satisfactory rating with mean of 3.59 in a four point-likert scale.
the findings revealed that patients evaluated the attention
to needs as very satisfactory. Likewise, a rating of 3.78 on
courtesy was noted. The correlation statistics show a moderate
correlation between nurses and patients satisfaction rating.
(r=0.06) correlationof nurses’ satisfactionandagreement on the
no pass zone initiative revealed a very high correlation. (r=0.98)
Thefollowingconclusionsarederived:Thenopasszoneinitiative
has been proven useful in addressing the needs of patients. The
no pass zone increases cognizance of nurses in patient safety
and prompt need provision. The following recommendations
are proposed: roll out of the no pass zone initiative to all
nursing units of the hospital. The need to have consistency in
monitoring of the no pass zone standard script utilization is
critical. random audits of the no pass zone implementation in
piloted units. Future investigation on other nursing outcomes
and its relationship with the program may be explored.
