Methods of Documentation III: PIE01:21

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

2.2K
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

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...

Self-Report Tests of Personality

1.1K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Penn State Worry Questionnaire-Past Week (PSWQ-PW) measures weekly pathological worry but contains problematic negatively worded items.
  • Existing measures lack validation in large samples and may not be suitable for measurement-based care (MBC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a shortened, positively worded version of the PSWQ-PW, the PSWQ-10.
  • To examine the psychometric properties and clinical utility of the PSWQ-10 for measuring worry in diverse clinical populations.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the PSWQ-10 by selecting positively worded items from the PSWQ-PW.
  • Administered the PSWQ-10 to patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and other anxiety disorders in an academic anxiety clinic.
  • Validated the PSWQ-10 in a second cohort from a perinatal clinic.

Main Results:

  • The PSWQ-10 demonstrated excellent internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and criterion group validity.
  • Patients with GAD scored higher than those with other anxiety disorders but similar to those with MDD.
  • The PSWQ-10 showed sensitivity to change and strong psychometric properties in perinatal and general clinical populations.

Conclusions:

  • The PSWQ-10 is a reliable, valid, and efficient instrument for measuring worry.
  • It is suitable for use in measurement-based care (MBC) across broad clinical settings.
  • The PSWQ-10 facilitates objective measurement of worry as a treatment outcome.
