1Graduate Nursing Program, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Downers Grove, IL, USA lschoenly@gmail.com.
Summary
Correctional nursing research needs a defined agenda. A Delphi study identified key priorities including critical thinking, competency, assessment, protocols, patient outcomes, and care environment to advance this specialty.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Criminal Justice Health
- Public Health
Background:
- Correctional nursing, a recognized specialty since 1985, lacks sufficient research to support its practice.
- Limited evidence hinders the development and advancement of nursing within the criminal justice system.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a prioritized research agenda for correctional nursing.
- To identify key areas for future research to build an evidence base for the specialty.
Main Methods:
- A three-round Delphi study was conducted with 18 correctional nursing experts.
- Expert consensus was used to elicit and prioritize research topics.
Main Results:
- Six predominant themes emerged from the study.
- Key research priorities include critical thinking, clinical judgment, competency, educational levels, assessment, nursing protocols, impact on patient outcomes, and the care environment.
Conclusions:
- The identified research priorities will guide future studies in correctional nursing.
- Establishing a robust research agenda is crucial for the evidence-based development of correctional nursing practice.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.7K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

4.3K
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.
