A new quantitative index was developed to measure Nursing Practice Models (NPMs), offering a reproducible and cost-effective evaluation method. This tool enhances the assessment of nursing practice quality and professional ideal achievement.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Health Services Research
  • Measurement in Healthcare

Background:

  • Nursing Practice Models (NPMs) are crucial for understanding group nursing practices.
  • Current NPM measurement relies on subjective, expensive, and non-reproducible expert judgments.
  • There is a need for objective, quantitative methods to evaluate NPMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a quantitative index for measuring Nursing Practice Models (NPMs).
  • To provide a reproducible and cost-effective alternative to current NPM assessment methods.
  • To evaluate the extent to which nursing units achieve the nursing professional ideal.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Multi-Attribute Utility (MAU) theory to guide the development process.

Related Experiment Videos

  • An expert panel identified 24 key factors representative of NPMs.
  • A computational index was created by summing these factors to score nursing units.
  • Initial validation involved comparing index scores with expert global evaluations for 40 nursing units.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed index provides a quantitative score for nursing units based on 24 identified NPM factors.
    • Initial validation demonstrated preliminary support, with Pearson correlations showing agreement between index-generated scores and expert global assessments.
    • The index offers a potentially reproducible and cost-effective approach to NPM evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • The newly developed computational index shows promise as a valid tool for quantitatively measuring Nursing Practice Models (NPMs).
    • This quantitative approach can improve the objectivity and reproducibility of nursing practice evaluations.
    • Further research and validation are warranted to establish the index's utility in diverse nursing settings.
