An overview of nursing process.

Nursing process is referred to as the basic framework for the practice of nursing, which allows the nurse to provide care in a systematic, organized fashion. Because nursing is an evolving profession, this framework is constantly being modified and adapted to current practice. Periodic analysis and review of the current trends in nursing process allow the practicing nurse to improve patient care. This article serves as an overview of observations on nursing process including historical data, a description of each of the five steps of nursing process, and application to daily practice.

A two-level approach to nursing process.

Nurses have problems integrating the nursing process and care plans into their nursing practice. This problem affects patient outcomes and nursing practice issues. Encouraging trends have been observed when nurses adopted a two-level approach to relearn and implement the nursing process. Assessments were more comprehensive, nursing diagnoses were more specific, precise, and accurate, documentation was improved, and care plans were individualized. This article offers step by step guidelines to learn the two-level approach while recommending methods for teaching.

[Learning the nursing process in nursing education].

This article examines how students under two different kinds of curriculum (old and new) have learned to use the concept of the nursing process in the planning of patient care and assesses their attitudes towards the nursing process. The data were collected from 264 students at three schools of nursing and 63 qualified nurses (as a reference group), who were asked to plan the care of one patient. The plans were evaluated according to criteria aimed at ascertaining how well the students and nurses used the concept of the nursing process. Their attitudes towards this concept were evaluated using 24 statements measured on the Likert scale. The data were analyzed by factor analysis and an analysis of variance. The students at nursing school C following the new curriculum were best at planning patient care, while all those at nursing school A (studying under either the new or the old curriculum) were better at doing so than the students at school B or the nurses. The differences between the groups were statistically significant. The students following the new curriculum had statistically significantly more positive attitudes towards the nursing process those students following the old curriculum or the qualified nurses.
