The core element of the nurses role in the hospital may be aided by the implementing of hourly rounding. Traditionally rounding will take place regularly, but on a less frequent
basis. Increasing the frequency has the potential increase the standard of care. This can be seen by looking at the way that this may provide a framework which will
facilitate effective care given that will promote recovery and well being of the patients. This can be seen as an approached that is conducive to Watsons care model.
Slide 2 Within a hospital setting the establishment of hourly rounding may be aid with the development of a caring environment where
nurses are able to develop positive relationship with their patients. When considering the potential value of hourly rounding this fits in very well with Watsons care model. Watson has seven
assumptions, the first is that care is demonstrated in an interpersonal level (George, 2010). Hourly rounding will increase the interaction between nurse and patient and as such interpersonal communication to
support caring. The second factor is the way human needs can be satisfied with the curative factors (George, 2010), the hourly rounding will increase the potential provision of those factors,
not only with the demonstration of care, but increased potential opportunities to identify needs which may be satisfied. Caring is also known to help promote health ((George, 2010), hourly rounding
