Background: the emergency department presents situations where the relationship between nurse and the patient is essential, but can be hampered by time constraints and interruptions. These factors can cause unfavorable effects such as overcrowding and acts of violence against healthcare professionals, with consequent negative outcomes on satisfaction and the perception of quality of care by patients. Objective: To investigate the factors that influence the satisfaction of patients/caregivers and professionals and the most effective strategies to optimize care in the emergency department. Materials and methods: between January and February 2025, a review of the literature related to the factors that influence the satisfaction of patients and professionals in the emergency department and the strategies to improve care was conducted following the PRISMA methodology. To select the articles, search strings were created using MeSH terms, uncontrolled keywords in combination with the boolean operators “AND” and “OR”. Subsequently, the strings were used in the international databases Pubmed and CINAHL. Results: the search strings produced a total of 930 articles, from which 0 duplicates were removed. After completing the title screening, 69 articles were selected, of which 27 were selected following the reading of the abstracts. After the full-text analysis, 16 articles were included in the review based on the inclusion criteria. Discussion: patient and professional satisfaction is influenced by non-modifiable factors (age and sex) and modifiable factors (communication, relationship, mental health, environment, workload, competence and professional behavior). Instead, among the strategies to improve the quality of care in the emergency room are the team triage, the implementation of the hourly nursing round, the chat service and digitalization. Conclusion: A communication-focused care approach can significantly improve the well-being and quality of care for patients, while promoting a more collaborative and rewarding work environment for healthcare professionals. Keywords: patient, patient satisfaction, emergency department, communication, quality of care
Background: il pronto soccorso presenta situazioni in cui la relazione tra infermiere e paziente è essenziale, ma può essere ostacolata da vincoli di tempo e interruzioni. Questi fattori possono causare effetti sfavorevoli quali il sovraffollamento e gli atti di violenza contro gli operatori sanitari, con conseguenti esiti negativi sulla soddisfazione e sulla percezione della qualità dell’assistenza da parte dei pazienti. Obiettivo: indagare i fattori che influenzano la soddisfazione dei pazienti/caregiver e dei professionisti e le strategie più efficaci per ottimizzare l’assistenza in pronto soccorso. Materiali e metodi: tra gennaio e febbraio 2025 è stata condotta una revisione della letteratura relativa ai fattori che influenzano la soddisfazione dei pazienti e dei professionisti in pronto soccorso e le strategie per migliorare l'assistenza seguendo la metodologia PRISMA. Per la selezione degli articoli sono state create delle stringhe di ricerca con l’utilizzo di termini MeSH, parole chiave non controllate in combinazione con gli operatori booleani “AND” e “OR”. Successivamente, le stringhe sono state utilizzate nei database internazionali Pubmed e CINAHL. Risultati: le stringhe di ricerca hanno prodotto un totale di 930 articoli, da cui sono stati rimossi 0 duplicati. Dopo aver completato l’analisi del titolo sono stati selezionati 69 articoli, di cui 27 sono stati selezionati in seguito alla lettura degli abstract. Dopo l’analisi del full-text, 16 articoli sono stati inclusi nella revisione in base ai criteri di inclusione. Discussione: la soddisfazione degli assistiti e dei professionisti è influenzata da fattori non modificabili (età e sesso) e modificabili (comunicazione, relazione, salute mentale, ambiente, carico di lavoro, competenza e comportamento professionale). Invece, tra le strategie per migliorare la qualità di assistenza in pronto soccorso vi sono il team triage, l’implementazione del giro visite orario infermieristico, il servizio di chat e la digitalizzazione. Conclusione: un approccio assistenziale focalizzato sulla comunicazione può migliorare notevolmente il benessere e la qualità delle cure per gli assistiti, favorendo al contempo un ambiente di lavoro più collaborativo e gratificante per i professionisti sanitari. Parole chiave: paziente, soddisfazione del paziente, pronto soccorso, comunicazione, qualità delle cure

These factors can cause unfavorable effects such as overcrowding and acts of violence against healthcare professionals, with consequent negative outcomes on satisfaction and the perception of quality of care by patients. Objective: To investigate the factors that influence the satisfaction of patients/caregivers and professionals and the most effective strategies to optimize care in the emergency department. Materials and methods: between January and February 2025, a review of the literature related to the factors that influence the satisfaction of patients and professionals in the emergency department and the strategies to improve care was conducted following the PRISMA methodology. To select the articles, search strings were created using MeSH terms, uncontrolled keywords in combination with the boolean operators “AND” and “OR”.
