Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Pediatric Care
  • Healthcare Quality

Background:

  • Nursing assessment is crucial for effective care delivery and decision-making.
  • Current nursing assessment for hospitalized children often emphasizes quantitative data and clinical failure prevention.
  • This approach deviates from the holistic, individualized care model inherent in the nursing process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how nursing assessment can be broadened to enhance decision-making.
  • To illustrate how a more comprehensive assessment can promote child and family-centered care.
  • To apply Carper's 'patterns of knowing in nursing' to re-envision nursing assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis using Carper's (1978) four 'patterns of knowing in nursing'.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Illustrative examples to demonstrate broadened assessment strategies.
  • Focus on qualitative and contextual aspects of nursing assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Applying Carper's patterns suggests assessment can integrate empirical, personal, ethical, and aesthetic knowing.
    • This integration moves beyond purely quantitative data to include subjective experiences and contextual factors.
    • Broadened assessment can lead to more informed clinical judgments and individualized care plans.

    Conclusions:

    • Reconceptualizing nursing assessment through Carper's framework can improve the quality of care for sick children.
    • A more holistic assessment approach is essential for achieving true child and family-centered care.
    • Nurses should strive to integrate diverse ways of knowing into their assessment practices.
