[The validity of the “Working Group on Nursing in Early Rehabilitation” (AGnFP) catalogue]
Introduction:
Nursing is most important in neurological early rehabilitation to achieve a good outcome. In the present study, the validity of the catalogue of the “Working Group on Nursing in Early Rehabilitation” (AGnFP) has been examined.
Methods:
54 neurological early rehabilitation patients (mean age 68.3 (14.7) years) have been enrolled. All nursing processes (basic and medical care) have been documented through timekeeping.
Results:
A nursing total of 205.9 (122.6) min/d per patient was found. In the AGnFP-catalogue, 177.5 (130.9) min/d have been documented (86.2% of all nursing processes). Barthel-index correlated negatively with basic nursing care (r = − 0.42, p < 0.01). The early rehabilitation index showed a negative correlation with medical nursing processes (r = − 0.46, p < 0.01). The AGnFP catalogue correlated with basic nursing processes (r = 0.69, p < 0.001).
Discussion:
The AGnFP-catalogue is a tool to document nursing in early neurological rehabilitation. Further studies are strongly encouraged.
