Nurses collect, communicate and store patient information needed for care through verbal, handwritten and electronic information sources. However, the specific categories of nurses' information needs for the care of hospitalized patients remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify the categories of nurses' information needs and develop an observational tool to measure the information needs through available information sources. We analyzed qualitative data from interview transcripts and conducted direct observations of nurses to identify a total of 17 categories of nurses' information needs when caring for hospitalized patients. Once identified, we developed an observational tool to quantitatively measure the category of information need, whether the information need was collected and communicated, and through which information source. Future studies will be able to measure the gathering and communication of information needs through direct observation.
护士通过口头、手写和电子信息源收集、交流和存储护理所需的患者信息。然而,护士对住院患者护理的具体信息需求类别仍不明确。本研究的目的是确定护士的信息需求类别,并开发一种观察工具,以通过现有的信息源来衡量信息需求。我们分析了访谈记录中的定性数据,并对护士进行了直接观察,以确定在护理住院患者时护士总共17类信息需求。一旦确定,我们就开发了一种观察工具,以定量衡量信息需求的类别、信息需求是否被收集和交流,以及通过何种信息源。未来的研究将能够通过直接观察来衡量信息需求的收集和交流情况。
