For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...

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.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Healthcare Management
Organizational Psychology

Background:

Favorable nurse work environments are linked to improved nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes.
The primary tool for assessment, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), has not been updated since the 1980s.

Purpose of the Study:

To psychometrically evaluate an updated PES-NWI for measuring contemporary nurse work environments.
To establish construct, structural, discriminative, and concurrent validity, alongside interrater and internal consistency reliability.

Main Methods:

A modified PES-NWI was administered to 818 direct-care hospital nurses in the United States.
The psychometric properties of the updated instrument were assessed.

Main Results:

The modified PES-NWI demonstrated adequate validity and reliability.
Further refinement and testing of the instrument are recommended.

Conclusions:

An updated PES-NWI provides a tool for assessing current nurse work environments.
This measure can guide improvements in hospital settings to enhance nurse and patient outcomes.
