Implementation of nursing process among nurses at Woldia Referral hospital, Northern Ethiopia: An institution-based cross-sectional study

Résumé

Abstract Background Many countries have adopted the nursing process as a basic requirement for quality health care services, but there is a problem with its implementation in the clinical areas of many hospitals. Even though nurses accept the benefits of the nursing process, they do not use it practically. The implementation of the nursing process in Ethiopia is not well organized and developed. Many health care settings in Ethiopia demand the application of the nursing process in clinical practice. Methods An institutional-based, cross-sectional study design was conducted at Woldia referral hospital. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select study subjects. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from February to March 2020. Binary logistic regressions were used. Then, P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in this study. Result This study reviled that 62.8% of nurses implemented the nursing process. Work experience greater than or equal to five years [AOR: 1.79; 95% CI (1.31–4.84)], support from the administration of the organization to do the nursing process [AOR: 1.98; 95% CI (1.22–3.01)], and knowledgeable nurses [AOR: 2.21; 95% CI (1.32–4.97)] are significantly associated with the implementation of the nursing process. Conclusion More than sixty present nurses implemented the nursing process. Work experience, organizational support to implement the nursing process, and knowledge were significant factors affecting the implementation of the nursing process.
