Summary
The Northern Germany Nursing Research Network develops tools to improve nursing care. Studies focus on identifying care deficits and creating management instruments for better quality assurance in elderly and home-based care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Health Services Research
- Gerontology
Context:
- The Northern Germany Nursing Research Network (Pflegeforschungsverbund Nord) coordinates research at the University of Bremen.
- Focus on optimizing the nursing process through management instruments.
- Research is conducted within the Department of Interdisciplinary Aging and Nursing Research.
Purpose:
- To develop and test management instruments for optimizing nursing processes.
- Examine deficient areas in nursing action, including elderly care patterns and mobility restrictions.
- Generate and validate nursing management tools for quality assurance and risk prediction.
Summary:
- Group A investigates "Individual care-patterns of elderly people" and "Mobility Restrictions in Nursing Homes (MORIN)" to understand nursing care deficits.
- Group B focuses on "Nursing rounds for quality assurance" and "Predicting the risk of falls (PROFESSION)" using cluster-randomised controlled trials.
- Studies aim to identify significant risk combinations and test the efficiency of nursing assessment tools.
Impact:
- Aims to enhance the quality of nursing care through evidence-based management instruments.
- Contributes to a better understanding of care needs in elderly populations and nursing home settings.
- Provides practical tools for improving nursing practice in home-based and institutional care.
