Sammanfattning
With the increasing emphasis on
evidence-based health care, the
scientific support for various
interventions often comes into
focus when resources are
allocated. For nursing care, it is
essential that quality of scientific
evidence for various interventions
is high. As a pilot project, we
reviewed the published literature
on one approach to nursing care,
namely individual patient care
planning. Original observations
on this and closely related topics
were found to be published in 36
articles. There were no
randomized trials, and a
comparison of the new method vs.
the conventional approach was
made only in a minority (16) of
the studies. Seven of these used
contemporary comparisons. The
methodological approach was,
with one exception, quantitative.
The most frequent end-points
concerned the documentation
process as such and the attitudes
and experiences of the nursing
staff, whereas the effects for
patients were reported more
seldomly. We conclude that there
is much room for improvement of
the quality of scientific
documentation when new nursing
care methods are introduced.
