Gerontological nurses

Area of Science:

  • Gerontological Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Older adults' health is often fragile due to age-related changes and chronic illnesses.
  • Effective gerontological nursing requires proficiency in physical assessment to identify health status changes.
  • Responsive care and consultation depend on accurate health status identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate registered nurse case managers' reported use of physical assessment skills in continuing care.
  • To identify factors that constrain or facilitate physical assessment by nurses in continuing care settings.

Main Methods:

  • A 1995 study in Alberta, Canada, surveyed 189 registered nurse case managers across 19 continuing-care facilities.
  • Questionnaires were distributed to nurse administrators and case managers, achieving a 73% response rate.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive, interpretive, and pattern coding, with Neuman's systems model as a framework.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified key factors that either constrain or facilitate the use of physical assessment skills by nurses in continuing care.
    • Utilized a holistic view of the environment and data triangulation to enhance the credibility of findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding environmental factors is crucial for optimizing physical assessment practices in gerontological nursing.
    • Findings provide insights into improving nursing care for older adults by addressing assessment challenges.
