Research Types and New Trends on the Omaha System Published From 2012 to 2019

Abstract

The Omaha System is a popular and standard term used in community health. This scoping review aimed to update the research types and identify new usage trends for the Omaha System through articles published between 2012 and 2019. The bibliography databases PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycInfo, Ovid, and ICHUSHI and the Omaha System's Web site were used to search for publications. Research articles published between 2012 and 2019 that included "Omaha System" in the title or abstract and were written in English or Japanese were included in this review. After excluding duplicate articles, 305 articles were screened and 82 were included in our analysis. There was a median of 10.3 articles per year. The percentages for each type of use of the Omaha System to "analyze client problem," "analyze clinical process," "analyze client outcomes," and "advanced classification research" were 18.3%, 12.2%, 23.2%, and 4.9%, respectively. The reclassification of the type "others" (41.5%) included "use the Omaha System data for assessment for other than clients," "use the Omaha System data as structured data," "encode by the Omaha System code," "adopt the OS framework," "clinical information system," and "literature review." This newly reclassified category will help capture future research trends using the Omaha System.

Efficacy and safety of continuous nursing in improving functional recovery after total hip or knee arthroplasty in older adults: A systematic review

“…Only one study in this review applied the Omaha System theory to patients with THA [ 34 ]. The Omaha System is a standardized terminology model consisting of three related, effective, and reliable parts: a problem classification plan, an intervention plan, and a result-oriented question scoring table, aiming at fully integrating information [ 38 ]. According to the Omaha System, this research implemented continuous nursing intervention and made specific rehabilitation plans based on the needs of clinical nursing practice.…”

Intervention model under the Omaha system framework can effectively improve the sleep quality and negative emotion of patients with mid to late-stage lung cancer and is a protective factor for quality of life

“…5) Follow-up and continuous assessment: Follow-ups were carried out at 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months post-discharge to understand ongoing care problems. Based on changes in patient conditions, continuous updates were recorded following the initial assessment performed within 24 hours of hospital admission using Omaha theory system [13].…”

“…The Omaha system is a simplified and userfriendly nursing procedure system that encompasses various aspects of care for LC patients. It provides a systematic, continuous, and comprehensive approach to evaluating and monitoring the patients' health issues, as well as implementing interventions to address their medical and nursing needs, thereby improving their QoL [13,14].…”

“…The Omaha system is a standardized nursing terminology for nursing practice recognized by the American Nurses Association, which consists of the problem classification scheme, intervention scheme, and problem rating scale for outcomes ( 7 ). It has been widely used in the field of nursing research and education ( 8 , 9 ). Fang et al reported the community rehabilitation nursing of Omaha system in stroke patients with previous falls ( 10 ).…”
