Summary
This study identified key factors influencing missed nursing care across Australia, Cyprus, and Italy. Understanding these predictors helps refine strategies to improve patient care quality and safety internationally.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Previous research on missed nursing care has been expanded to a multi-country context.
- This study investigates missed care in Australia, Cyprus, and Italy, building on the MISSCARE research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To measure and model Australian, Cypriot, and Italian nurses' beliefs regarding missed nursing care.
- To identify the frequency of missed care activities within these diverse healthcare settings.
Main Methods:
- Utilized multivariate analysis to assess consensus scores from 1,896 nurses.
- Applied Alfaro-Lefevre's conceptual framework of care priorities to analyze missed care activities.
Main Results:
- Identified five latent variables directly predicting missed nursing care frequencies.
- Nurse age, qualifications, absenteeism, and workplace type explained overall variance in missed care scores.
- Nurse gender did not significantly influence missed care.
Conclusions:
- Cross-country comparisons of missed nursing care facilitate targeted remediation strategies for managers and clinicians.
- International comparative studies enhance the understanding of missed care concerning nursing practices, policies, and social policies.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

01:10Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis
1.9K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

01:19Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs
3.0K
Following these guidelines can help nurses accurately measure vital signs, assess changes in patient conditions, and provide timely treatment when necessary. Adhering closely to the guidelines ensures the accuracy and reliability of the results.
Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.6K
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.
