Description

"This book examines quantitative measures and operational definitions for assessing nursing-sensitive indicators for community-based nonacute care. These evidence-based indicators-determined by an ANA advisory committee-are evaluated for their relevance to nursing practice. The evaluation and analysis of measurement instruments are framed by these indicators: change in symptom severity; utilization of services; client/patient satisfaction; risk reduction; increase in protective factors; satisfaction with quality of life level of functioning; and strength of the therapeutic alliance. Summaries of the analysis are presented in a series of tables in each chapter: indicator development process; evaluation of existing indicator measurements; and analysis of the operational definitions for the indicators. The measurement instruments used are also analyzed for their applicability to four community health settings: long-term care, home health, school health, and ambulatory care. Recommendations for setting specific indicators are offered for each setting." -- Cover page 4.
