TL;DR
A pilot study conducted on two adult inpatient units of a teaching hospital used North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) nursing process documentation that related to specific patient outcome criteria to assess the effectiveness of psychiatric nursing care.
Abstract
Recent developments in health care reform suggest the importance of outcome data regarding the nature, costs, and documented effectiveness of various health care services. While psychiatric nurses believe in the value of the care they provide, the present climate requires that research be conducted to elaborate the outcomes of psychiatric nursing care. This article describes a pilot study conducted on two adult inpatient units of a teaching hospital. On the experimental unit, nurses used North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) nursing process documentation that related to specific patient outcome criteria. On the control unit, nurses used a medical systems approach to documentation. Study results and important unanticipated findings are reported with implications for future nursing research and practice.

A scheme that is based upon the development of a “profile” rather than a single “index” for describing health status is proposed in this paper, a conceptual framework whose usefulness will depend upon efforts of a large number of researchers from many disciplines to develop instruments which can be incorporated in it.

14 Citations1991Peter Savage
It is proposed that nursing assessment should be a relatively lengthy process, increasing in specificity, involving gathering and analysing information from a holistic perspective about individuals'/families' health concerns, and by applying concepts from appropriate conceptual models, a nursing diagnosis to those health concerns is proposed.
