Sykepleiedokumentasjon - en utfordring ved trykksårforebygging - Erfaringer fra et
praksisutviklingsprosjekt
Sammanfattning
This article discusses the experiences of a practice development project where a geriatric ward
in a hospital, a ward in a nursing
home, nursing students and the university college's teachers worked together to improve practice
procedures to prevent and document
pressure ulcers for elderly patients. The intention is to describe the experiences related to nursing
documentation. The method
was qualitative where experiences from group interviews with nurses and nurse students, as well as
notes from the participants in the
project group. The nurses were also experts in the ward. The results showed that documentation
skills differed among the nurses, and
they downgrade to document when lack of time. Checklists were a help to the specification of
procedural measures. One conclusion is
that the practice field needs further competence in nursing documentation, and nursing education
must increase focus on electronic
nursing documentation in class.
