A
call light represents a patient need, the simplest
requirement to reach for a facial tissue to as complex as
the necessity to be relieved with pain. Nurses 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 has to
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 Response and Courtesy of Nurses? Is
there a relationship between Patients and Nurses 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 toneeds 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) Correlation of nurses’
satisfaction and agreement on the No Pass Zone initiative
revealed a very high correlation. (r=0.98) The following
conclusions are derived: The No Pass Zone initiative 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
were 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. RandomAudits of theNoPass Zone implementation in
piloted units. Future investigation on other nursing outcomes
