title: [A study on patient care standards].
abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a patient care standard which is the basis of unit based quality assurance. The subjects were 570 nurses of 6 hospitals is Seoul. Patient Care Standards were developed from 3 times of clinical Nurses Association's workshop & the joint meeting of Clinical Nurses Association & the Korean Nurses Academic Society of Nursing Administration. Respondents were instructed to rate of the 2 types of 5-point Likert type questionnaire (one is the level of perceived importance, the other is the level of actual performance) Findings of this study were as follows 1. As a result of reliability analysis, each questionnaire ranged from alpha = 0.79 to 0.94 (Table 2) 2. The Correlations between the levels of perceived importance & actual performances were ranged from r = .40 to 0.72 (P = .00) 3. There were significant differences in the level of perceived importance according to the several variables. (1) Chemotherapy unit; df = 5, F = 4.06, P = .000/hospital (2) Pediatric unit; df = 5, F = 2.8, P = .02/hospital (3) OBGY; df = 5, F = 4.20, P = .00/hospital (4) ICU; df = 5, F = 2.83, P = .02/hospital df = 3, F = 5.38, P = .00/age df = 3, F = 6.22, P = .00/total duration (5) GS; df = 3, F = 3.37, P = .02/total duration 4. There were significant difference in the level of actual performance according to the several variables. (1) Chemotherapy unit; df = 5, F = 2.89, P = .02/hospital df = 3, F = 3.07, P = .03/age df = 3, F = 3.61, P = .02/total duration (2) OBGY; df = 5, F = 15.48, P = .00/hospital df = 3, F = 7.83, p = .00/total duration (3) GS; df = 5, F = 6.70, P = .00/hospital df = 3, F = 4.49, P = .01/age df = 3, F = 5.99, P = .00/total duration (4) ICU; df = 5, F = 2.96, P = .02/hospital df = 3, F = 4.39, P = .01/age df = 3, F = 5.20, P = .00/total duration
