Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.7K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Inadequate pain assessment in hospitalized older adults can lead to adverse outcomes.
  • Technology-driven tools are emerging for pain assessment, but patient/family experiences are under-researched.
  • This study focuses on patient and family perspectives of the PainChek® Universal application in acute care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore older adult inpatients' and their families' perspectives on nurses' use of the PainChek® Universal digital pain assessment application.
  • To evaluate patient and family satisfaction with technology-assisted pain assessment in an acute care setting.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted as part of a stakeholder evaluation within a randomized control trial.
  • The PainChek® Universal application was implemented on two medical wards in an acute private hospital.
  • Older adult inpatients and their family members were invited to complete surveys regarding their experiences.

Main Results:

  • Over 90% of patients and families viewed the PainChek® Universal application positively, finding it helpful for pain assessments.
  • 84% of patients and 87% of families believed the application provided a more accurate pain assessment.
  • Feedback indicated satisfaction with the application's use and integration, with a noted need for further education.

Conclusions:

  • Older adults and their families perceive significant benefits from nurses using digital applications like PainChek® Universal for pain assessment.
  • Successful integration of healthcare technology requires concurrent patient and family education to maximize benefits and address concerns.
