“…The study shows that the care plans were motivated by the documented signs and symptoms. In this respect, the present study shows more promise than the study of O'Connell et al. (1999) in which the diagnostic statement did not appear to be based on cues in the assessment form.…”

The structured implementation programme significantly improved nursing documentation, and the simultaneous training of the entire nursing staff shows promise. The VIPS model has prepared the nurses for more complex computerized taxonomies and classification systems in the future by improving the nurses' analytical skills. Relevance to clinical practice. New strategies for improving nursing documentation have been demonstrated.

“…The VIPS model is based on the use of written care plans, albeit care plans have proven to be the most difficult part of the nursing process to implement. In the same vein, other studies have described a gap between patient assessment and the application of findings in nursing care plans (4, 6, 8). Some studies have shown that nurses perceive that they are able to make care plans, while their actual performance falls short (20, 21).…”

“…International studies regarding nursing documentation have shown that nurses often fail to complete all the stages in the nursing process; limiting themselves to patient assessment, and falling short when it comes to formulating nursing diagnoses (3, 5, 6), creating and updating nursing care plans (4), and linking assessment, diagnosis and interventions (6). Nurses usually complete a patient status, but the information is insufficient in order to formulate a nursing diagnosis and care plan, although nurses regard the nursing journal as a mark of professionalism (7).…”

The Copenhagen University Hospital decided to adhere to the standards of the Joint Commission of International Accreditation in 2000. These standards require systematic assessment of patient care needs and include the use of written nursing care plans. In order to meet these standards, the hospital management decided to introduce the Swedish VIPS model, which is a model designed to structure nursing documentation (VIPS is an acronym for well-being, integrity, prevention and safety). The present study explores the nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards documentation and addresses the research questions: (a) what are the nurses' attitudes towards documentation of nursing care? and (b) do nurses have sufficient knowledge of the documentation system to systematically document their patient assessment and clinical decisions? The research design was prospective, comparative, and quasi-experimental (nonrandomized), including a study group (n=72) and a control group (n=57). A questionnaire was used to compare nurses' self-evaluated attitudes towards documentation, and a multiple-choice test was given in order to assess nurses' knowledge of the documentation system. The study group participated in a special implementation programme (response rate 82%), while the control group attended the regular 3-day documentation course at the hospital (response rate 79%). The study showed that the two groups responded similarly, but the nurses in the study group were significantly stronger in their conviction that they had the knowledge to make care plans and that they routinely made them. The study group demonstrated slightly less motivation than the control group, while the two groups shared a positive attitude towards nursing documentation. The study group did consistently better on the knowledge tests. The findings show that the implementation programme had a positive impact on nursing documentation, and that the VIPS model increased the nurses' understanding of the nursing process.

Background: Despite recent developments, health care provision in Indonesia remains suboptimal. Difficult terrain, economic crises, endemic diseases and high population numbers, coupled with limited availability of qualified health care professionals, all contribute to poor health status. In a country with a population of 220 million, there are currently an estimated 50 nurses and 26 midwives per 100 000 people. In line with government initiatives, this series of studies was undertaken to establish the training and development needs of nurses and midwives working within a variety of contexts in Indonesia, with the ultimate aim of enhancing care provision within these domains.
