Abstract: (251 Views)
Background & aim: Intensive Care Units nurses prioritize their assigned tasks due to their high workload, which may result in missing some care. On the other hand, accurately documenting these care activities is very complex, time-consuming, and may affect the provision of complete care. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the quality of nursing records and its relationship to missed care by Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) Nurses in Tabriz.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted in 2022, using a census study, on all 151 nurses working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of Al-Zahra, Mardani, Azar, and Taleghani hospitals in Tabriz. The data collection was performed using the Nursing Report Quality Questionnaire and the Tubbs-Cooley Missed Care Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation test, and t-test using SPSS-26.
Results: The average score of the total nursing records quality was 56.19±8.69. The most neglected cares were "Parents inclusion in baby’s care" and "Parents education about home management of illness". The number of 12 cares had a significant relationship with the quality of nursing records (p<0.05). Among theme, "Medication administration principles follow", "Medications administration in scheduled time" and "Infection control precautions follow" had the highest correlation coefficient (p<0.001).
Conclusion: From the nurses’ perspective in neonatal intensive care units, the quality of nursing records was above the average and most of the cares are provided completely. At higher quality recordings, the missed cares are less likely. Considering that there are many detailed cares in the neonatal intensive care units, recording them accurately can be important in reducing the negligence of care.
