This study developed a clinical data model for nursing care of patients experiencing hallucinations. The model aims to improve nursing decision-making and care quality for hallucination management.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatric Nursing
- Clinical Informatics
- Healthcare Data Modeling
Background:
- Hallucinations are common in psychiatric disorders like psychosis and dementia.
- Existing literature lacks a defined nursing process specifically for addressing hallucinations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine a clinical data model for the nursing process focused on hallucinations.
- To enhance clinical decision-making and care quality for patients with hallucinations.
Main Methods:
- A literature review integrated with a scoping study framework.
- Adherence to the PRISMA checklist for scoping reviews.
- Selection of 32 papers from an initial search of 328.
Main Results:
- Findings were summarized according to the nursing process for hallucination care.
- A clinical data model was determined, incorporating nursing process elements.
- The model is designed to support nursing decision-making and improve care quality.
Conclusions:
- The developed clinical data model can enhance nursing care for hallucination.
- It may contribute to more reliable nursing-sensitive indicators.
- This model addresses a gap in the literature regarding nursing interventions for hallucinations.
