| Aims: This review study aimed to investigate the strategies for implementing the
nursing process in the clinical practice and the assessment of the implementation
rate of this process in clinical settings of lower‐income countries.
Design: An integrative review.
Method: The search was conducted of EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and ISI
databases from 1975–July 2018. Following the formation of the research team, two
researchers independently selected the eligible studies; finally, 39 articles were approved
by the research team for this study.
Results: The researchers identified three themes: Effects of implementing the NP in
clinical settings, Development and application of electronic software in the NP and
Factors affecting the implementation of the NP. This review revealed that nurses and
nursing managers in hospitals are interested in implementing the nursing process
in the form of widely and continuously. But the necessary infrastructure, such as
manpower, electronically or manually tools, has not yet been provided, and the implementation
of the nursing process is done either imperfectly or not done. |
