title: [The validity of the “Working Group on Nursing in Early Rehabilitation” (AGnFP) catalogue].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Nursing is most important in neurological early rehabilitation to achieve a good outcome. In the present study, the validity of the catalogue of the “Working Group on Nursing in Early Rehabilitation” (AGnFP) has been examined.
  
  
  METHODS
  54 neurological early rehabilitation patients (mean age 68.3 (14.7) years) have been enrolled. All nursing processes (basic and medical care) have been documented through timekeeping.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A nursing total of 205.9 (122.6) min/d per patient was found. In the AGnFP-catalogue, 177.5 (130.9) min/d have been documented (86.2% of all nursing processes). Barthel-index correlated negatively with basic nursing care (r = − 0.42, p < 0.01). The early rehabilitation index showed a negative correlation with medical nursing processes (r = − 0.46, p < 0.01). The AGnFP catalogue correlated with basic nursing processes (r = 0.69, p < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The AGnFP-catalogue is a tool to document nursing in early neurological rehabilitation. Further studies are strongly encouraged.
