Abstract:

Background: Better healthcare outcomes in health services are obtainable from frequently observing ongoing healthcare activities, gathering data, and assessing outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed to establish the basic principles of nursing care standards and practices in wards, develop a nursing audit tool for periodically monitoring and controlling ongoing nursing activities, and evaluate nursing care quality. Methods: A methodological investigation of field visit data gathered between November 2017 and April 2019 was conducted. A nursing service audit tool was used to collect data. Based on the literature and expert consideration, a conceptual structure of the nursing audit criteria containing 63 items and four factors (patient care, indirect care, unit criteria, and head nurse) was developed. The hospital supervisors visited all the wards and evaluated all the items of the tool accordingly. Nursing outcomes of units were used for determine the predictive validity of the tool. Two supervising nurses collected the data using the tool during their shifts. Supervisors were trained on the use of the tool to avoid any differences between evaluators. Each supervisor collected 309 tools. A total of 618 data were collected. Results: The level of validity and reliability of the tool is within acceptable limits; thus, it can be regarded as a valid and reliable tool for monitoring nursing care processes in the general wards of the hospital. Conclusion: The developed tool will help nurse managers monitor the nursing care process in accordance with the quality standards.

Abstract:

The aim of the project was to examine the current practice of nursing care documentation and to identify the common errors of nursing care documentation. A prospective cross sectional method was used to evaluate nursing care documents done by the nurses. The project was carried out between January 2014 and 31 March 2014. The project phase was based on the fundamental concepts divided to three phases. Phase 1 was assessment and diagnostic, phase 2: Planning Strategy and Process, and in phase 3: Implementation, Designing tool, Continuous monitoring.First phase started with assessment to diagnose the current practice; therefore baseline auditing was conducted by development of audit tool in documentation based on policy/guidelines, development and initiation of education strategy and finally the evaluation audit conducted to assess the outcome of the project.This project gave depth attention to the standardization of nursing documentation practice and the factors that leading to variation in practice which may cause the flaws in documentation quality. The project identified the barriers and opportunities to improve the efficiency of nursing documentation have been placed. The next stage of this project is to review the effectiveness of the method of documentation through the development and implementation of an audit tool.Alongside this, the plan is to continue regular education related to focus charting in order to fully imbibe this change into daily nursing practice.Nurses in organizations that are struggling with documentation issues can conquer it by using focus note method as it can easily be adapted to different clinical situations. This project also supported the nurses to provide legally prudent information related to patient care and nursing activities performed. There are hopes for the nursing documentation and record audit processes to be developed into electronic and systematic process and used as an aspect of a regular credentialing process in the near future. It is recommended that nursing administration should use a multidisciplinary approach to develop policies and guidelines on nursing care documentation and provide sustained continuing training opportunities for nurses on effectiveness of documentation and also aimed at putting the policy to improve daily use of standardized nursing languages.

Abstract:

Amidst many opportunities to create positive change and examine systemic anti-racist decolonial practices (Moorley et al., 2020), we are advocating for concrete action at the root of Nursing education programs by way of a structural anti-racism audit. Based on decolonial and antiracist theory (Garneau et al, 2018; Gaudry & Lorenz, 2018; Kendi, 2019; McGibbon & Etowa, 2009), we propose to engage in systems-level action (McGowan et al, 2020; Mulgan, 2006; van Wijk t al., 2018) and examine institutional structures through an anti-racist framework (Sutton, 2002) based on audit processes for equity, diversity, and inclusion (Chun & Evans, 2019; Olson, 2020; Skrla et al., 2004; Skrla et al., 2009; Zion, et al., 2020). Structures within and influencing curriculum, pedagogy, evaluation will be examined to advance systems-level anti-racist practices and policies (Moorley et al., 2020) with Nursing students, faculty, staff, leadership as a foundation for equitable Nursing education and care (National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health, 2014). This anti-racist approach to Nursing education reform promises to address the pernicious harms of discrimination in the healthcare system, as noted in a recent report on Indigenous-specific racism (Turpel-Lafonde, 2020). We aim to conduct a strengths-based structural anti-racism audit that does not lose sight of disparities (Fogarty et al., 2018). We are currently conducting a literature review and audit framework development and will pilot the structural anti-racism audit in fall 2021. Rather than requesting endorsement of our project, and with respect for diverse approaches, we asked Nursing colleagues to sign this letter to demonstrate shared commitment to critically examine racist challenges and anti-racist opportunities in their Nursing program at a structural level (see this survey: https://forms.gle/tZPN2z1kUoARNPp1A

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Nonadherence to medications for schizophrenia relates to frequent readmissions. Long-acting injectable (LAI) medications are shown to increase adherence and reduce admissions. AIMS: (1) Identify frequent readmissions to psychiatry. (2) Improve nursing advocacy for patients appropriate for LAIs through in-service. METHODS: Chart audits were employed for data collection. Academic detailing and dashboards were used for voluntary nursing education. The chart audit spanned 90 days pre and post in-service. All admissions to psychiatry were screened; patients with readmissions under 30 days (with the same admitting diagnosis), a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis, and nonadherent with oral antipsychotics were included. Results: Forty-four patients met criteria and amassed 49 frequent readmissions. For inclusion criteria, the admission rate decreased by 53% and LAI prescriptions increased by 9%. Three patients from the first audit group and one from the second were initiated on LAIs. CONCLUSIONS: Attitudes toward LAIs may be improving based on RN advocacy and collaboration.

Abstract:

Background: The assessment of a patient's vital signs is a critical nursing task. Despite this, research has found that many nurses have a poor understanding of pulse oximetry. Aim: As undergraduate students rely heavily on textbooks as an educational resource, an audit was conducted of nursing texts to determine the quality of pulse oximetry descriptions. Method: The audit was guided by questions based on the findings of research examining nurses' understanding of pulse oximetry. Two researchers used these questions to appraise textbook content. Findings: A convenience sample of 32 contemporary nursing textbooks was appraised. Text descriptions of pulse oximetry varied from brief to more extensive, with the content ranging from superficial to detailed. Conclusion: Superficial, inconsistent or misleading information within basic nursing textbooks may be one factor associated with nurses' knowledge deficits about pulse oximetry. Academics and nurse educators should appraise core content of textbooks carefully before recommending textbooks to nursing students.

Abstract:

Background and objectives: Drug misuse among young people has become a major worldwide health concern. The present study analyzes substance misuse and its social and personal consequences in young university students. Materials and Methods: Screening of alcohol misuse was based on the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT), while screening of substance-related risks and problems was performed with the Car, Relax, Alone, Forget, Friends, Trouble (CRAFFT) score. Results: The population was composed of nursing students at the University of Valencia (Valencia, Spain) (n = 185). More than 50% of the surveyed students reported alcohol intake based on the CRAFFT scale; 31.4% were classified as having “risky alcohol use”, and 19.5% met the criterion for hazardous drinking based on the AUDIT score. In turn, 34.1% of the sample reported marijuana/hashish intake based on the CRAFFT scale. A gender effect was only observed for marijuana/hashish use, which was significantly (p < 0.001) higher in male students. No other gender differences were observed. In the logistic regression analysis, only age was identified as a protective factor for obtaining a reduced risk score with both the AUDIT and the CRAFFT. Among the social and personal consequences of drug misuse, the inability to “stop drinking once you have started” or the inability to “remember what happened while consuming” was significantly associated with an increased frequency of alcohol consumption (OR 20.93, p < 0.0001 and OR 13.68, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions: Our findings are consistent with emerging social concerns about drug misuse in the university population, including nursing students as future healthcare professionals.

Abstract:

AimsWe aimed to assess the accessibility and informativeness of the content of daily nursing notes through an audit, and improve deficiencies identified.BackgroundNursing notes are an important source of observation findings, of in-ward psychiatry patients.There can be variations in the quality of the notes as well as information contained within.A basic level of clarity and information within all notes will be helpful in using these to inform the management of patients.MethodAn audit was carried-out in a ward treating working-age patients for psychiatric illnesses.Setting standards - standard required of a daily progress note was decided after discussion in multi-disciplinary team meeting (MDT). Clear language and information on; mental-state, medication, meals, physical health, personal care, activities, risks and use of leave, were identified as requirements.Retrospective audit - First audit cycle was carried-out by assessing the notes two weeks retrospectively. The assessment instrument used a qualitative measurement of the readability of the notes as well as quantitative assessment of the contents.Intervention - The standards set during the MDT, as well as a suggested format for recording notes, were communicated to the staff through email. Follow-up meetings with individual staff members and MDT, to evaluate staff satisfaction and new suggestions to improve the format were held. Difficulties staff encountered when implementing the format were discussed and resolved.Second audit cycle - Following implementation of the intervention, the notes were again assessed using the same instrument.ConclusionDifficulty in accessing information from the notes was noted in the first audit cycle. The average score for accessibility of information when scored on Likert scale + 3 to -3, was 1. Use of language scored 2 on average. On the second audit cycle, accessibility had increased to 3 on average while language score remained 2.Quantitative measurement was done for presence of information on; mental state, medication, meals, physical health, personal care, activities, risks and use of time away from ward. All of these parameters showed an increase in the post-intervention second audit cycle. Information on taking meals, medication, and physical health was present 100% of the time in the second cycle. Most improvement was in information on personal care which showed a five-fold increase, from 17% to 89%In conclusion, standard for nursing notes arrived via discussion and consensus in MDT, has been successful in improving the accessibility and information within nursing notes.

Abstract:

In any nursing program, it is a challenge to foster an awareness of, and engagement with, the complexity and reality of nursing practice. During their studies, nursing students have to learn the relevant underpinning theoretical knowledge for practice as well as develop their understanding of the role and responsibilities of the registered nurse in clinical settings. At a regional Australian university the Bachelor of Nursing is offered externally with the student cohort predominantly off-campus. There are significant challenges in providing opportunities to enhance learning (Henderson, Twentyman, Heel, & Lloyd, 2006) and to foster early professional engagement with the nursing community of practice (Andrew, McGuiness, Reid, & Corcoran, 2009; Elliot, Efron, Wright, & Martinelli, 2003; Morales-Mann & Kaitell, 2001) in a context for learning nursing knowledge and inter-professional collaborative practice. This paper presents the results of a series of internal audits of students’ feedback of the Charles Darwin Hospital (CDU) vHospital™ undertaken from 2008 to 2010, following integration into theory and clinical nursing subjects in the Bachelor of Nursing program. The feedback from students demonstrates the value students place on teaching and learning activities that provide realistic situated learning opportunities (Hercelinskyj & McEwan, 2011).

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a nursing quality indicator (NQI) framework and provide a comprehensive reporting mechanism for nursing care. Design/methodology/approach Mixed method, including patient records audit, patient experience questionnaire, nurse self-report questionnaire and collecting ward-level information. The sample was 53 patients and 22 nurses. Findings Outputs from the NQI framework domains offer a more comprehensive understanding of nursing quality compared to when domains are analysed separately. The NQI framework also provides a more inclusive mechanism for assuring nursing care. Research limitations/implications Sample size was limited to 53 English-speaking patients who consented to participating in the study. Originality/value One design strength was the ability to describe individual patient care across the four domains and subsequently show relationships between nursing knowledge, nursing interventions and patient outcomes/experiences. Additionally, corroborated information from three sources (documentation review, patient and nurse responses) strengthened the conclusion that the NQI framework could provide more comprehensive assurances on nursing quality and identify care improvements.

Abstract:

Discussions on how nursing documentation should be carried out have been ongoing for the last decade. In this study, free-text format for nursing diagnoses was introduced to nursing staff at a university hospital in Norway. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of an education intervention introducing nursing diagnoses in a free-text format following a problem-etiology-symptom structure. A pretest–posttest design was performed to assess changes in quality and quantity in the nursing documentation using the audit instrument N-Catch II. Several elements in the nursing documentation had statistically significant changes; the largest was found for quantity in nursing diagnoses. Education interventions aimed to improve nurses’ documentation in the electronic health record may have an effect on more complete and accurate nursing documentation. The presented education intervention showed a significant impact of more accurate nursing diagnoses and significant improvements in nursing documentation.

Abstract:

The Falls Management Audit Tool (FMAT) was developed to assess the documentation of the falls management process in nursing homes. The multistep content analysis procedure was used to guide tool development and obtain reliability and validity of the FMAT. Established fall guidelines and national experts were used for item development. Trained gerontological nurse practitioners conducted chart audits in nursing home residents with a fall history. Adequate content validity (content validity index > .88) and interrater and intrarater reliability were established (kappas > .78) in the final version of the 57-item FMAT and pilot testing demonstrated feasibility. This study provided evidence that the FMAT is a reliable and valid tool, which can be used to assess the documentation of the falls management process and for measuring the effect of research or quality improvement interventions.

Abstract:

Health reform is increasingly targeted towards strengthening and expansion of primary health systems as care is shifted from hospitals to communities. The renewed emphasis on prevention and health promotion is intended to curb the tide of chronic disease and sustain effective chronic disease management, as well as address health inequities and increase affordable access to services. Given the scope of nurses’ practice, the success of Australia’s health system reforms are dependent on a nursing workforce that is appropriately educated and prepared for practice in community settings. This article reports on the results of an Australian national audit of all undergraduate nursing curricula to examine the extent of professional socialisation and educational preparation of nurses for primary health care. The results of the audit are compared with Australian nursing standards associated with competency in primary health care. The findings indicate that Australian nursing competencies are general in their approach to skills and knowledge, not specifying any particular competencies for primary health care, while undergraduate student preparation for practice in primary health and community settings is patchy and not keeping pace with reform agendas that promote expanded roles for nurses in primary health care, prevention and health promotion. The implication for nursing curriculum reform is that attention to achieving nursing graduate capacity for primary health care and health promotion is a priority.

Abstract:

The Nursing Core Curriculum has been continually developed and revised in many countries over recent decades. These revisions are shaped mainly by social changes and challenges: for example, the forecast that the elderly will become a significant percentage of populations in developed countries, global migration processes, computerization of medical services, and new complex medical devices have all necessitated changes in the education of 21st century nurses. In Israel, nursing education has developed simultaneously under the influences of both the British versus the American core curricula through the last century. The latest Core Curriculum was published in 2012, and for the last three years, the Ministry of Health Nursing Administration have been working on the development of a new core. Meanwhile, all nursing education institutions are expected to implement de-facto changes which are supervised by the Ministry of Health’s audit tool development and inspection process.

Objetivos: Conhecer a produção científica sobre auditoria em enfermagem e identificar a importância do registro de enfermagem no prontuário para a auditoria. Método: Revisão bibliográfica narrativa, para qual selecionou-se artigos relacionados à auditoria em enfermagem e registros de enfermagem nas bases eletrônicas Scientific Electronic Library Online, e Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, publicados entre 2000 e 2010. Resultados: Os artigos analisados sob caráter qualitativo indicaram que há poucos estudos sobre a temática. Foi identificado que auditoria de enfermagem, atualmente, é realizada pelo método retrospectivo no prontuário e está voltada para o âmbito contábil, e que os registros de enfermagem possuem qualidade insatisfatória para servir de instrumento de coleta de dados. Conclusão: Há perspectivas que a auditoria passe a investigar a qualidade do cuidado, e possuir um caráter educativo que possibilite a qualidade da assistência.

Abstract:

Introduction: Whether it is a written documentation or an oral communication, the practice and delivery of healthcare is debated to be critically dependent on effective and efficient communication. Nursing documentation is one of the principal sources of information about patient care and an important tool for communication. This descriptive study assessed both quantitative completeness and quality of nursing documentation by major in-patient units of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study used D-catch tool. Data of randomly selected 317 patient records from six major in-patient units were entered into EpiData file. Using STATA version IC/14, descriptive statistics and multi variable analysis were carried out. Results: Overall quantitative completeness (M-3.4, SD-.59) of the nursing documentation was higher compared to the quality of the documents maintained (M-2.8, SD-.79). The basic and less time-consuming information such as admission data and vital signs charting are documented better compared to the more time consuming and complex documentation such as nursing care process. Conclusion: Systems should not only be in place to enhance documentation quantitatively but also consider uplifting the quality of the documents maintained. Initiating centralized admission system in the hospital may reduce nurses’ burden of clerical documentation, which will allow them to focus on quality nursing documentation and overall nursing care of patients.
