["Nursing care visit: possibilities and limits". An empirical study in Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein].
This study examines the distribution, understanding and objectives of nursing visits as well as the implementation and the experience with nursing visits in 87 hospitals in North Germany (Bremen, Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). The survey was conducted using a questionnaire. It was found that nursing visits are implemented in 31% of the departments. By means of the nursing visit the patients are involved in the nursing process. The objectives of nursing visits are patient orientation. and the improvement of the nursing quality. The nursing visit is criticised because of both the level of organisation and the time spent on nursing visits as well as the lack of training, maintaining confidentiality and questions of data protection. The study contributes to a better understanding of nursing visits and a clearer definition of the term. It is the first empirical study of this type that has been conducted in Germany.
