The results of this survey validate that the NANDA nursing diagnoses classification is appropriate for use in long term care. Although ninety three percent of the current NANDA nursing diagnoses are used in practice, there remains a need for the development and testing of additional nursing diagnoses to describe patient problems encountered in long term care. Nurses in education and practice settings must work collaboratively to continue to identify, refine and validate the nursing diagnoses that are most appropriate for frail, older and/or chronically ill residents of long term care facilities.
This paper describes inter-rater reliability of three quality assessment instruments: Monitor, Senior Monitor and Qualpacs. The work forms part of a Department of Health funded study examining the reliability and validity of these three instruments. Inter-rater reliability is not a fixed entity and therefore should be tested every time raters or the setting change. In this instance, testing was carried out in three wards (one elderly and two surgical). Two methods of analysis were used: percent agreement and intra-class correlation coefficient. Results and some of the techniques that were found to be useful in enhancing reliability are described. Acceptable levels of inter-rater reliability with all three instruments were reached.
