title: The nursing care plan problem.
abstract: If nursing care plans are related to positive patient outcomes, why don't nurses write them? The authors conducted a study to investigate the effect of variables such as reinforcement, knowledge, values and incentives, and certain demographic characteristics on the writing of nursing care plans. The findings have some important implications for nursing administrators and nursing educators, and emphasize the need for further study and investigation.
