This article describes the results of a continuous improvement project of the care received by 85 clients in an academic Nurse Managed Center. Undergraduate nursing students provided services for community living persons with mental illnesses utilizing the Omaha System. Data were collected from fall 2002 until fall 2004. A t-test was applied to the pre and post client Omaha Outcome Ratings. Statistical significance in the Omaha Outcome Rating Scales was found in the areas of Knowledge, Behavior, and Status for the problems of nutrition, prescribed medication regimen and personal hygiene. Evidence was found that the Omaha System was a valid and effective data collection tool, a scientific guide for interventions, a positive teaching/learning tool, a structure for building evidence-based teaching and practice, and a reliable outcome measurement tool. Limitations in this study included the use of a convenience sample, and the lack of a control or comparison group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
