Thesis (Ph.D. (Nursing Science)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / The purpose of this study was to develop a training programme to facilitate
the implementation of the 6 Ministerial Priorities by Professional Nurses in
the Health Care facilities in Limpopo Province. The purpose of the training
programme was to capacitate the Professional Nurses to enable them to
facilitate the implementation of the 6 Ministerial Priorities in the Health Care
facilities of Limpopo to improve the provision of quality service.
The study was conducted in three phases, namely, qualitative, quantitative
and development of a training programme. Phenomenological semi structured one-to-one interviews were conducted to explore the perceptions
of Professional Nurses on the implementation of the 6 Ministerial Priorities in
the public hospitals in Limpopo Province. Interviews were conducted until
saturation was reached. Themes and sub-themes were coded manually.
The results of the qualitative phase were used to develop a questionnaire for
the quantitative phase. Self-administered quantitative questionnaires were
given to Professional Nurses to describe their experiences, knowledge and
perceptions on the implementation of the 6 Ministerial Priorities in the Health
Care facilities of Limpopo.
The results that emerged from the integration of qualitative and quantitative
results revealed that 6 Ministerial Priorities were not implemented effectively
in the Health Care facilities due to challenges such as shortage of
Professional Nurses and cleaners, shortage of cleaning material, linen and
patients clothing. Shortage of medication, lack of in-service training on the
6 Ministerial Priorities and lack of orientation programme for the newly
appointed Professional Nurses. These challenges affected the
implementation of 6 Ministerial Priorities negatively thus compromising the
provision of quality patient care. The training programme was developed for
Professional Nurses to capacitate them on the facilitation of the
implementation of the 6 Ministerial Priorities to improve quality care.
