Predicting nurses' charting behavior based on Fishbein's model.
This study tested a theoretical model of behavior prediction within a quality assurance framework. Fishbein's mathematical model and the ANA quality assurance model were used to study nurses' charting behavior, based on selected attitudes, norms, and motivation levels. The sample consisted of nurses employed on a postcoronary care unit in a general, private hospital. Although significant findings were not obtained and the null hypotheses were not rejected, this study provided insight into nurses' attitudes, motivations, and behavior with regard to specific QA activities in a clinical setting.
