title: Evaluation of home visits using a nursing process approach.
abstract: Few tools for home visit evaluation of students exist in current nursing literature. Therefore, a tool was developed that utilizes a nursing process framework to measure essential nursing behaviors in the home. Incorporated into the tool are unique facets of community-oriented nursing practice, such as home environment assessment, family-oriented nursing diagnoses, bag technique, and contracting. The tool is a two-page form designed to evaluate pre-visit, onsite, and post-visit nursing activities. The tool has been refined using empirical data from clinical experiences with over 200 students in community health nursing.
