[Effect of partially open department on unit atmosphere].

Abstract

Ward atmosphere was assessed with the help of the Ward Atmosphere Scale (WAS) by patients, nurses and physicians on 8 admission units before and after the introduction of the partial open door system. On average, on 45% of the days on which the units could have been potentially open, they were indeed at least temporarily open. Several significant changes in the WAS scores, mostly in desirable direction, were registered. However, close relationship with the partial opening of the units could be substantiated only with regard to the scale "praxis orientation"; still a positive result. No unequivocal relationships could be demonstrated between the introduction of the partial open door system and the changes in the frequency of "special events".
