This study designed and tested a computerized nursing assessment based on the concept of self-care in nursing (Orem, 1980). Previous research by Horn and Swain (1978) served as the guide in the development of a paper-based assessment tool. The paper-based assessment was then transformed into a computer-assisted assessment. A control assessment, structured paper-based and computer-assisted assessment were evaluated for time, quantity and quality of nursing diagnoses, and acceptance by nurses. Significant differences were found in the time, quality of nursing diagnoses and nurses' preferences for the assessments. |
