Abstract

This paper reports on an investigation about application of the nursing process in psychiatric nursing. The main focus was the development of an instrument for measuring the nursing process. This instrument was developed on the principle of the SOAP-system. The goal of developing such an instrument was to give nurses the possibility of following the process of implementation of the nursing process on their wards. After selecting the items of the instrument, content validity and interrater reliability were determined. Analysis revealed adequate validity and reliability of the instrument. Therefore the instrument can be used in psychiatric hospitals applying the nursing process on the principle of the SOAP-system.

[Comments on the topic of attesting to health status at arrest during medical emergency care].

A common problem for Emergency Room doctors on call is whether or not an arrested patient is sufficiently healthy to allow his transfer to jail. When there are signs of injury, or doubts about the patient's condition, the police must bring the patient in for medical examination to get a certification of the patient's health condition. He must be examined according to the information about his health and pre-existing conditions. Additional treatment should be undertaken, depending on patient's condition. The diagnoses must be written and summarized accurately and concisely. Additional documentation, such as photographic evidence must also be saved in the medical records. Should there be symptoms of a serious but difficult to diagnose condition, like traumatic head injury, the patient should always be admitted to the hospital. The medical certification or permission for imprisonment can not be enforced when the medical condition of the patient changes.
