Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of data...
Data Collection III01:05

Data Collection III

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the patient.
Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I01:26

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains for...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

Focus Charting, also known as the focus charting system or "focus documentation," is a systematic documentation approach used in healthcare to organize patient information in medical records.
It typically involves three columns for recording information:

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is a widely used tool for assessing upper extremity function.
  • Clinical utility can be enhanced by structured data collection methods that facilitate progress tracking and goal setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a clinically useful data collection form derived from the DASH questionnaire.
  • To create a tool that aids in measuring functional changes and setting patient-centered goals.

Main Methods:

  • Rasch analysis was employed to develop three distinct data collection forms based on DASH constructs (gross motor, fine motor, symptoms) using data from 960 participants.
  • A case illustration demonstrated the form's application for tracking changes in gross motor activity from admission to discharge.
  • The form's capacity for goal setting and achievement tracking was highlighted.

Main Results:

  • The generated forms effectively illustrate functional changes observed between patient admission and discharge.
  • The data collection forms visually represent the achievement of pre-defined patient goals.
  • The utility of the forms in observing functional change and aiding goal setting was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • The developed data collection form offers significant clinical advantages.
  • This tool has positive implications for patient goal setting and individualized treatment planning.
  • The form can enhance the tracking of patient progress and treatment effectiveness.
