“…I EU's Tuningprosjekt er målet å definere sykepleiekompetanse. Her framkommer det at sykepleiere skal kunne gjøre omfattende og systematiske undersøkelser av pasienten (17). Mangelen på funn av skandinavisk forskningslitteratur om emnet kan skyldes at SKUV ikke er innført i sykepleierutdanningene i disse landene.…”

“…In Switzerland, at the start of the 2000s, when nursing studies began to be taught in Universities of Applied Sciences, training programs were re-evaluated, and teaching about clinical evaluation was reinforced and deepened (Lindpaintner et al, 2009). Respondents Finally, our results showed that nurse clinicians and nurse specialists were more likely to report performing physical assessments once per week or less, and less likely to report performing them daily than other participants in our survey.…”

“…Another hypothetical explanation is that more experienced nurses, the majority of whom had not undergone a university-level nursing education, have had less extensive training in nursing physical assessment. Indeed, physical assessments were long considered the prerogative of physicians and were not systematically taught to nurses (Lindpaintner et al, 2009).…”

Aims To describe the perceived barriers to nurses performing physical assessments of patients in rehabilitation wards. Secondarily, to investigate how sociodemographic and professional characteristics influence the use and frequency of physical assessments by nurses and their perceptions of barriers to their practice. Design A multicentre, cross‐sectional, observational study. Methods Data were collected from September to November 2020 among nurses working with inpatients in eight rehabilitation care institutions in French‐speaking Switzerland. Instruments included the Barriers to Nurses' use of Physical Assessment Scale. Results Almost half of the 112 nurses who responded reported performing physical assessments regularly. The predominant perceived barriers to performing physical assessments were ‘specialty area’, ‘lack of nursing role models’ and ‘lack of time and interruptions’. Greater clinical nursing experience in rehabilitation wards and more senior nurse specialist positions were associated with significantly lower use of physical assessment procedures by nurses. Conclusion The present study revealed heterogeneity in the use of physical assessment by nurses practicing in rehabilitation units and highlighted their perceived barriers to this. Impact statement Most nurses working in rehabilitation care units did not routinely perform physical assessments as part of their daily clinical practice. These results should raise stakeholders' awareness of this fact. Effective interventions to increase the use of physical assessments in nursing practice are to be recommended, including continuing education or hiring enough highly qualified nurses as role models in wards. This will promote quality of care and patient safety in rehabilitation care units. Public and patient engagement and involvement There was no patient or public involvement in the present study.
