Participant perceptions in relation to NSQHS standards. Rows A–D: Staff in ED and 4Gray were invited to complete surveys prior to commencement of MEER sessions (=Baseline) and at three time points during the course of the intervention (ie, at 2.5 months, 5 months and 10 months). The only responses included in this analysis were those where the participant had responded to the Baseline survey and at least one other survey (n=31), ensuring the two response samples were matched. The rating nominated by these participants in the last survey they completed was used to calculate the Last response value. Row E: The values reflect the proportion of respondents in the final survey (at 10 months) that nominated a rating of either improved a lot or improved a bit (n=16). Rows F–G: The proportion of nodes in the map for each standard where the nominated consensus rating was above-average. Results were calculated separately for the ED and 4Gray assessments and then combined to calculate the overall value.
Std 3 | Std 4 | Std 5 | Std 6 | Std 10 | |||
A | Proportion that were familiar with detail of the standard and understood its relevance to their work | Baseline | 70% | 81% | 74% | 74% | 70% |
B | Last response | 81% | 89% | 89% | 89% | 81% | |
C | Proportion rating implementation of the standard in their unit as Good or Very Good | Baseline | 65% | 68% | 71% | 68% | 65% |
D | Last response | 97% | 90% | 90% | 97% | 87% | |
E | Proportion that believe implementation of standard in their unit had improved over the course of the project | Final survey | 88% | 81% | 88% | 94% | 75% |
F | Proportion of nodes rated above-average | First MEER assessment | 54% | 32% | 55% | 65% | 53% |
G | Second MEER assessment | 70% | 56% | 65% | 65% | 77% |
