Patient assessment of nursing care
Patient assessment of nursing care
The overall aim of thisexploratory study was to
investigate the feasibility ofpatients as recipientsof nursing care, assessing
that care. The study was alsoconcerned with thenurse learner's perception of
her performance as care giverand how bothpatient's and nurse learner's
perceptions would compare with thatof the nurseteacher's assessment of the
nursing care given.
The broad aim of the study incorporated thefollowing
research objectives:-
To identify aspects of nursing care which are important
to patients and nurses and which can be assessed by them
To design a 'Patient Assessment of Nursing
Care'assessment instrument
To explore the suitability of this method ofassessment
for use in formative assessment
To furnish information on which to base
guidelinesfor future research.
The study design was formulated with an open
empirical approach to the problem, inthat there were no set hypotheses to be
tested, no pre-design instruments andprocedures to be used. The research was
based on data obtained from patients'and nurses' responses for the purpose of
developing a conceptual framework forunderstanding and explaining what takes
place in giving and receiving nursingcare in an assessment situation.
Analysis of the data suggested that the
significance of this study lay in the preliminary development of an assessment
instrument which is essentially alearning
tool but which will certainly require further refinement before it canbe used
in isolation as a fully developed assessment instrument. However, the 'Patien tAssessment
of Nursing Care' instrument:-
demonstrated that patients' views about nursingcare
may be of considerable value in assessing nurses in the affective domainof
nursing skills
encouraged the development of nurse learners'social
and personal skills
provided a meaningful learning experience
helped to identify nurse learners'
strengths,weaknesses and emerging needs
may be used alongside other assessment methods
toprovide additional information about nurse learners' progress puts the
teacher inthe role of the facilitator of learning
Theassessment instrument which has been developed
as a result of this study isoffered as a tentative prototype and a basis for
further study by a researchteam.
