[Optimizing the nursing process by new management instruments. The Northern Germany Nursing Research Network].
The Northern Germany Nursing Research Network (Pflegeforschungsverbund Nord) has dedicated itself to developing management instruments intended to optimize the nursing process. It is coordinated by the administrative office of the Institute of Public Health and Nursing Research (Institut für Public Health und Pflegeforschung IPP, director: Prof. Dr. Stefan Görres), Department of "Interdisziplinäre Alterns- und Pflegeforschung", University of Bremen. Four partial projects are currently being worked on in two groups: Group A--"Deficient areas of nursing action": The projects belonging to this group are "Individual care-patterns of elderly people and their determinants" (University of Bremen) and "Mobility Restrictions in Nursing Homes-Multicentre Observational Study (MORIN)" (University of Hamburg). The purpose of these studies is to examine the relevance of quantitatively significant risk combinations from a nursing science perspective. Group B--"The generation and testing of nursing action management instruments": The projects in this area are "Nursing rounds as instruments of quality assurance in home-based care" (University of Applied Sciences, Bremen) and "Predicting the risk of falls, efficiency of standard scales in opposition to nursing assessment-Cluster-Randomised Controlled Trial (PROFESSION)" (University of Hamburg). These studies concentrate in a unique manner on the generation and testing of management/control instruments suitable for application to nursing action.
