Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Nursing process is an organized scientific framework of providing essential health care services to patients that involves orderly and systematic sequence of problem solving techniques towards effective patient care (Funnel et al, 2008).This cross-sectional study sought to assess the factors influencing implementation of nursing process in Kakamega Provincial General Hospital, Kenya.A pre-tested semi-structured self adminstered questionnaire was used to collect data from the 89 randomly selected registered nurses in the hospital. Results: Among the 89 nurses studied 19(21.3%) were aged 41-45 years. More than three quarters 77(86.5%) were female and 78(88.6%) had KRCHN as professional qualification. Slightly more than half 46(54.1%) were designated as NOIII. Having been trained in implementation of nursing process was a significant factor in the implementation of the nursing process (p=0.010). those who undergo training on implementation were almost 4 times more likely to implement nursing process in care of patients than those who did not undergo training (CI,OR:95%, 3.556; 1.312-9.636). The findings indicate need for training on the implementation of nursing process.This study also forms a sound foundation for the implementation of nursing process for patient care in Kakamega Provincial General Hospital Kakamega and beyond.
