Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

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.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Student Attrition
Qualitative Research

Background:

Nursing student attrition is a complex issue with limited qualitative research on first-year needs.
Previous studies focused on individual predictors, neglecting students' lived experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the reasons behind first-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student attrition.
To identify student needs and inform strategies for reducing drop-out rates.

Main Methods:

A qualitative descriptive study was conducted.
Semi-structured interviews were performed with 31 nursing students at Verona University.
Data analysis followed Sandelowski & Barroso's descriptive approach.

Main Results:

Students cited a realization of unsuitability for nursing as a primary reason for attrition.
Perceived lack of psychological, physical, and practical resources impacted student persistence.
Disappointment with internships and a lack of clinical teacher support were significant factors.

Conclusions:

Some attrition is a natural realization of unsuitability for the nursing profession.
Effective counseling and support are essential to help nursing students navigate training and future careers.
