Nursing 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.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

2.7K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

18.1K
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Knowledge Production
  • Research Agenda Setting

Background:

  • Socio-political and technological forces shape scientific knowledge production.
  • Empty reviews, though debated, can identify and prioritize research gaps.
  • This study maps empty reviews within nursing science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map empty reviews published in nursing science.
  • To understand the characteristics and implications of empty reviews in nursing.
  • To inform research agendas and resource allocation for under-investigated topics.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review conducted following established guidelines (Arksey & O'Malley, JBI, PRISMA-ScR).
  • Protocol registered on Open Science Framework; search of databases and grey literature.
  • Data summarized using a modified framework: Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Fifteen empty reviews were identified, primarily from high-income countries in the last decade.
  • Topics included clinical practice, education, organizational resources, maternity care, and mental health.
  • Recommendations emphasized primary studies, tool development, and strategic use of empty reviews for funding and research agendas.

Conclusions:

  • Empty reviews in nursing signal neglected or emerging areas, aiding equity-oriented research priorities.
  • Legitimizing empty reviews supports transparent mapping of knowledge gaps for funders and institutions.
  • Dedicated registries and reporting standards for empty reviews can enhance transparency and stimulate targeted primary research.
