Personal and institutional factors associated with the quality of nursing notes recording in hospitalized oncology patients [Factores personales e institucionales asociados a la calidad del registro de notas de enfermería en pacientes oncológicos hospitalizados]

Abstract

Objective: To determine whether personal and institutional factors are associated with the quality of the nursing notes register in hospitalized patients at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases. Methodology: A quantitative, basic, descriptive-correlational, non-experimental, cross-sectional study. The population consisted of a total of 129 nursing professionals working in the hospitalization area who prepared nursing notes. Two instruments were used to evaluate the personal and institutional factors and the quality of the nursing notes register, which was validated by expert judgment and with a reliability of Cronbach's alpha 0.8 and KR of 0.86. The results obtained show a moderate correlation (0.695) between the personal and institutional factors and the quality of nursing notes. Likewise, the personal and institutional factors and the content of nursing notes have a moderate correlation (0.492 and 0.483), while the personal and institutional factors and the structure of nursing notes have a moderate correlation (0.471 and 0.445). It is concluded that it is necessary to continue with the training of nurses to strengthen competencies and skills to adequately develop the content and structure of nursing notes.
