Nursing documentation's purpose is to show that an organization maintains thorough written record of its planning, delivery, assessment, and evaluation of patient care, as well as to serve as a source of information for new nurses and maybe for nursing theory development.It contains all written information related to the patient's condition and needs.From September 21, 2020 to March 7, 2022, the researcher at Al-Furat Al-Awsat Teaching Hospital in Al-Najaf City used a quasi-experimental design with two groups and two evaluation stages to assess the effectiveness of the educational program in improving attitudes, and practices related to nursing documentation. A total of (50) nurses were randomly assigned to two groups and enrolled using non-probability deliberate selection procedures. To the control group,which maintained the same level of attitudes, and practices with a modest decline in nursing documentation attitudes, and practices. Furthermore, the education program was shown to be effective in increasing nurses' documentation attitudes, and behaviors, according to the study. Furthermore, a method like this is useful in shielding nurses from being documented.Based on the above-mentioned findings, the current study suggest that the Ministry of Health should consider nurses’ benefits.
Nursing documentation is a component of clinical notes that nurses complete and is one of the most important sources of information in the health care profession. Because it serves so many different purposes, the patient record is one of the most important functions that a nurse performs. It contains all written information related to the patient's condition and needs.From September 21, 2020 to March 7, 2022, the researcher at Al-Furat Al-Awsat Teaching Hospital in Al-Najaf City used a quasi-experimental design with two groups and two evaluation stages to assess the effectiveness of the educational program in improving knowledge related to nursing documentation. A total of (50) nurses were randomly assigned to two groups and enrolled using non-probability deliberate selection procedures. One group was given the program (the study), while the other was not (the control group), and both groups were tested twice (pretest and posttest). Students from both groups showed insufficient knowledge (56 percent for the study and 72 percent for the observation). When students in the study group were compared after executing the program, (post-tests) demonstrated a significant improvement (p-value 0.001) in knowledge (68 percent).
