Tornvall, E., & Wilhelmsson, S. (2008). Nursing documentation for communicating and evaluating care. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 17(16), 2116-2124.

Nursing documentation represents an essential part of patient record and ensures a delivery of quality and safe care. This article has been published in the internationally, peer reviewed, scientific, Journal of Clinical Nursing. The authors are both RNs with PhD qualifications and have other journal publications. Both the authors and journal are considered creditable. The study was supported with grants from the medical research council of southeast Sweden. This implies the research did not provide an income and therefore no bias is evident in generating particular results.

The study was a descriptive, cross sectional study, which aimed to investigate the utility of electronic nursing documentation. Questionnaires were sent to general practitioners (GP) and care unit managers in hope to explore to what extent and for what purpose GP’s use nursing documentation and to what extent care unit managers use nursing documentation for quality development of care. The study enrolled 544 GP’s and 82 care unit managers.

The results suggest that 58% of GP’s use nursing documentation as a source of information about patient care and follow up treatment, and 51% of unit care managers’ use nursing documentation to evaluate patient care. The authors identified that some questions should have been formulated to generate a yes or no response. This would have given a more accurate view on the contents of the nursing records. No other limitations were identified.

This study is extensively researched with a strong design. The large sample size gives credit to the results, which highlights the need for nursing documentation to be clear and specific to fulfil its purpose of transferring information to ensure the delivery of quality patient care. This notion is also expressed in studies by Currie (2002), Fenton (2006) and Voutilainen, Isola & Murrinen (2004).
