Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Current outpatient nursing services have not generally been implemented in accordance with the nurse's clinical credentials / authority and have not met the standards of nursing service. Nursing diagnoses in outpatients generally have not been enforced. This study aims to identify a description of priority nursing diagnoses in general outpatient and hospital surgery. This research uses quantitative method of frequency description. Exploration was conducted on 100 patients in general outpatient and surgical medical. The results yielded 10 priority nursing diagnoses, in which the highest priority nursing diagnosis was pain (90%). It is recommended that outpatient general hospitals develop pain management and are advised to conduct priority nursing diagnosis studies in other outpatient settings, since child outpatient and maternity outpatient rooms will have different priority diagnosis nursing characteristics.
