ABSTRACT
Background and Purpose:
To evaluate the nurse documentation compliance, pressure injury compliance, and fall prevention compliance before and after implementing an oncology acuity tool (OAT) at a specialized cancer center in Jordan.Methods:
A mixed methods design was used. A qualitative approach was employed using a semistructured interview with 15 nurses selected by purposive sampling. In contrast, the quantitative approach included pre- and postdata obtained to identify the role of adopting the OAT in improving nursing documentation and applying fall and pressure injury-prevention precaution measures.Results:
The thematic analysis developed seven themes, including oncology acuity score (OAS) and assignment processes, OAS and patient outcomes, OAS and nurse outcomes, limitations of the OAT, driving forces, restraining forces, and recommendations or suggestions. The results showed significant improvements in nursing documentation (p =.0385), application of pressure injury (p ≤ .00001), and falling precaution measures (p ≤ .00001).Conclusion:
Nurse assignment, nursing compliance, and patients' and nurses' outcomes improved after utilizing the OAT.Palavras-chave
