1Department of Adult Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand (Drs Pearkao and Potisopha); and Departments of Emergency Medicine (Drs Impool and Tantibundit) and Trauma and Emergency (Ms Hongveang and Mr Sampaothong), Khon Kaen Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand.
Background:
Electronic nursing documentation has advantages for monitoring and improving the quality of trauma nursing documentation. However, electronic nursing documentation has rarely been implemented in Thailand.
Objectives:
This study aimed to assess the feasibility and nursing satisfaction of a web-based trauma nursing documentation application.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used to assess the feasibility and nursing satisfaction with a web-based trauma nursing documentation application. The application was based on literature review, Advanced Trauma Life Support principles, and the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association. The survey was administered to trauma and emergency department registered nurses in a hospital in Thailand from November 2021 to January 2022. Patient data were also extracted from the web application system for analysis.
Results:
A total of 59 nurses piloted the web-based application on 79 trauma patients. Of 59 nurses, 45 (76.3%) were female, 44 (74.6%) had worked in the emergency department for more than 5 years, and 49 (83.1%) had no prior experience with using web-based applications. The nurses were satisfied with the application (M = 3.51, SD = 0.62), and they suggested that it was feasible to apply in practice (M = 3.46, SD = 0.79).
Conclusion:
These preliminary data demonstrate that implementing a web-based application for trauma nursing documentation in the emergency department is feasible and satisfactory to nurses.
